Printer issues

[Guest]

I have Access running on a Windows 2003 network. Developers create databases
and share them on the network. The problem I am currently having is that one
of my developers when creating a report the printing option defaults to her
default printer. When a users runs the report and trys to use the print
button from the toolbar it displays the developers default printer even
though they do not have access to that printer. If the users chooses the
File-Print option then only their allow printers show (which is what we
want), its just when they try to use the toolbar printer when it displays the
developers printer. Is there a setting in Access that can be changes so the
print option for reports is set to use system default and not the creator's
default settings at the time the report is created? I have found a option to
change this after the fact (in page setup of each report) but there is many
databases and many reports that will need to be manually changed. If we can
find a setting so that future reports that are created use the system default
that would be WONDERFUL!!
Any help would be most appreciated.
Sincerely,
Rita

Try open the report in design view and select File->Page Setup. On the Page
tab select the option to use the Default Printer and click Ok. Then save the
report.

BTW: please don't post the same question to multiple news groups.

The suggestion you provided is what I have to do now. What I am looking for
is a global setting so the developer won't have to do the option you
suggested each time a report is created. Is there a global setting for this?
We have multiple developers and it is only attaching her default printer
when she creates reports. All other developers reports are using the system
default(which is what I want for her), therefore I thought there might be a
setting on her Access that was pulling her default printer.

BTW: Thanks for the tip to not post to multiple news groups, but because I
am new...how do I know I am posting in the right news group?

Thanks.

Tell users to not save reports with non-default printers specified.
