I have an access database which contains a number of reports. Some
reports will print immediately from the printer icon on the toolbar,
others require me to press the start button on the printer (HP1200 up to
yesterday). I had never intended this extra step when I set up the data
base.

I have now changed the printer to a Lexmark E120 and the reports that
required me to press the start button on the HP1200 now require me to
hit the start button for every single page of a multi-page report.

Can anyone suggest what is causing this problem that requires me to
press the start button on the printer? This does not occur with all reports.

Open each offending report in design view and select File... Page Setup. On
the Paper Source tab (which will look different for different printers) make
sure that it's not set to "manual feed".

Problem solved - as a reader in another newsgroup pointed out I had some
of the report page setups set to manual paper feed!
