Do you have a default printer defined in Windows?

Yes we do have a default printer

Do you have a default printer defined in Windows?

Have you tried to un-set and re-set the default printer?

What have you tried in order to trouble-shoot this issue?

My IT guy - says he keeps trying "everything" - so far I know all he has done
is reset our server - nothing

I am no where near a computer person

You don't have to be a "computer person". You can test the database on other
PCs, you can test other databases on your PC. You can try other users
logging in to your PC. You can try setting the default printer to another
printer.

Actually - the database sits on our server - no reportd open on any computer

This is almost surely an issue with the default printer.

This is a Micorsoft issue. I have to set my default printer to a virtual
printer in order for the reports section to work. Then, if you need to
print, go to File, Print, and select your real printer from there. I have
tried all sorts of fixes but none seem to work. This is one of the only work
arounds for this issue. MS knows about this, because a lot of other
companies are having to deal with this issue. maybe, there will be a fix in
SP3 for Office.

According to article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/209782/en-us, you must
open the report, reset the default printer and resave the report. If the
database contains multiple reports, this must be done for each report.
