Printing upside down

[Larry]

Hi all, thanks for being here to help out!
I thought my post would make it in, but it does not appear to be here.
I could use some help from someone please. I have a database I inherited
that we use to track damage to vehicle. To print an individual vehicle card,
there is a print button in the form; it apparently calls a report (no name
found yet) which queries which vehicle is to be printed. It is set up to
print in duplex. there are two half pages on the front side and a full page
on the back. The back page prints upside down. Our printer (HP2200) does not
have the two sided option, thought it prints on two sides, nor does it offer
the chocie of which side to flip from so I can orient the back page
correctly. I have not fouond the code for the print command and would very
much like to find it and modify it to print front and back upright. I could
use some pointers on where/how to find the print command for this report.
Thanks so much, larry

If your printer doesn't have the two-sided option, how are you printing on
two sides?

Hi Jeff, I appreciate you responding. I worded that part poorly. The HP2200
has the duplexer installed and it works. The issue is inm Access, looking at
printer options or preferences.I am not presented with the normal print on
two sides options. I am guessing the printer command is in the Access report,
somewhere there may be settings specified that I can change to fix this; I
hope. Anyhoo, that is what I am after. thanks again,larry

Print directions are saved in a hidden binary property of the report.
There is no code to look at, just a simple print report command.

If you have not installed the printer driver correctly, you will
not see the duplexer options. You need to see the duplexer
options to set them correctly.

Normally, you set the default behaviour or a printer in Windows
Settings Printers, where you also set the default printer.

You can also install the printer multiple times, so you can have
the same printer with different defaults.

Normally, Access prints reports to the default printer using the
default settings. To change the settings that Access uses, open
the report in design view, and from the File menu select Page Setup.
To use a different printer, or to use your special printer properties,
select "use specific printer" in page setup. This normally leads to all
of your printer options. These settings are all saved in the hidden
binary property of the report.
