acrobat distiller / XP / MS-access Runtime

Hi all,

In our office, we are using Windows XP with run-time version (that comes bundled with X) for our users. There are few NT users that have MS-Access installed explicitly.
For the XP users, we are finding a peculiar problem – whenever they are trying to print some report / form, the default printer ‘ACROBAT DISTILLER’ is picked up. When somebody unknowingly clicks OK, the printing goes to a different printer (on network) – some printer whom we do not know why picked up.

However, if we delete the ACROBAT DISTILLER from the list of printer, then the next printer (in alphabetical order) is picked up – it never picks up the system default printer.

Interestingly, when the print job is issued from word, ppt, XLS, browser, then the correct – system default printer is picked up.

This is causing lot of trouble – confidential printings are getting printed in some other parts of the office.

Any clue why this is happening and how we can force the ‘system default’ printer to be used.

Thanks in advance,

Best regards,

Poolak
