Any chance of getting a more specific printer driver?
Or even trying it out with a completely different printer?
If that solved the problem, it would at least verify the cause of the problem.

Changing to the Access 2002 file format will not make any difference.

In your original post, you referred to Access 2002 Version 10.2616.2625.
Unless you have made some changes since then, you don't have SP3.

PMFJI, but a couple of suggestsions, here, DS.

1. Go to:
http://support.microsoft.com/sp
and download the updates for Office XP.
You should have SP3 (or at least SP2.)

While you are there, get the JET 4 update:

2. This really sounds like a problem with the printer driver.
The unprintable area of the printer can affect the report's margin settings, and now it turns out that it is placing the text boxes wrongly as well. Access uses the driver metrics to calculate the layout of the report, so it sounds like the driver is providing faulty metrics.

Go to the manufacturer's site, and see if you can download a more recent driver for the printer.

Hopefully you have compacted the database since you unchecked the Name AutoCorrect boxes under:
Tools | Options | General.

I'm using a Generic Text Driver with an Epson Tmt88iii printer.
Also have service pack 3
Using officeXP with Access 2002 file format is access 2000.
Does this change anything? Do I need to go to Access 2002 fle format?
Thanks
DS
