Currently I am using 2 methods to let users print.

1. DoCmd.OpenReport "rpt_anytimePR", acViewReport

It opens a report and then I have to press Ctrl+P to print. Which is what I want. (vista + ms2007).
> For some users, it automatically prints on their default printer. It's also keep giving them message about load paper in A4 tray.

2. RunCommand acCmdSelectRecord
DoCmd.PrintOut acSelection

This prints a form and same thing happens here.

Can anyone tell me why it would just open the report on my pc (and some of other pc's) and just print on other pc's (most of the users that use win xp + ms2007 or older)?

is there a way I could give some options to select a printer? I'd like to know if there are some more printing options.. thank you in advance for your time.
 
nevermind about report. Report is working fine.

It's just when users print on form. is there a way to let a user select the printer (network) instead of printing from a default printer?
