I am using Access 2003, Office 2003 and Windows Vista. I am unable to print
from Access as the printer icon indicates that a printer is not installed. I
have two printers both available within all other applications apart from
Access. I have gathered that some of the problems I am having is due to a
printer not being installed. How do I overcome the problem. I purchased
Access as a seperate program.
 
I may be full of it, but I'd read somewhere that only MS Office 2007 was
"certified" to work with Vista. Your 2003 may not. That being said, installed
printers are an operating system function, and have nothing to do with
Access/Office. If the O/S sees them as properly installed (and assuming that
your Access 2003 WILL work under Vista), it should see the printers as
available.
 
Even if you have set a default printer in windows, you might need to help
Access "see" it the first time.

Open Access. Open a form or table. Edit>Print and select a printer.
 
The answer is not that simple, When I open a table I receive no action when
clicking, Page Setup, Print Preview or Print. The Print icon on the tool bar
when the mouse hovers over it states "No Printer". Access is not "seeing" the
installed printers. I can find no way within the program to install either.
The printers are connected via USBs on the PC, all other Office programs can
see the printers, including this one.
 
Sorry it didn't help.

Keep in mind that any Print icon on a toolbar is probably NOT the same as
File>Print. The same may be true for Print Preview, etc. Be sure to try and
access the various commands via the Print menu, not toolbar icons, before
you give up.
 
I do not have a print menu. Pressing Print from the file menu achieves
nothing, same as Page Setup and Print Preview all from the File Menu.
