Access will not let me print, icon shows "no printer"

[Guest]

I can print with all other programmes apart from MSACCESS.
I cannot even preview my reports as ACCESS says I have no printer attached.
All printer functions appear disabled.
Please help!

I don't have a definative answer for you, but others have reported something
similar recently. The problem seems to happen with Access 2003 and network
printers.

The problem seems to focus on the way the printers are installed. Go to:
http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search?hl=en
and search the newsgroup:
microsoft.public.access.*
where the subject includes:
printer
and the date is the past 3 months.

From memory, the solution involves correctly installing the printer,
possibly including adequate permissions.

I have the same problem. Has anybody got any ideas that work yet?
I have reinstalled Access and made sure the user has full admin rights.

It seems to be some type of printer driver error, at least in my case.

I was able to solve the issue in A2002 by installing the necessary printer
drivers directly from the mfgs website to the client machine. Installing
drivers from our internal server resulted in the same error.
