Strange Printer Oddity After Report Update

[Mike555]

I recently made an update to an Access report, and since then when I go to print the report it selects a printer OTHER than my default where it wants to print. If I manually change the printer selection back to my default, it will print to it and continue to print to it until I close the report. Then when the report is re-opened the OTHER printer is once again initially selected. The update I've mentioned above was only the addition of a field. It seems as though this update is causing this problem to happen, because if I open an older version of this report it will print to my default printer.

I've tried to resolve this issue by doing the following:
- Checked the printer's connections.
- Rebooted the printer.
- Successfully printed to this printer as the default from all other apps.
- I've even tried removing the report field in question, but the report still wants to print to a printer OTHER than my default.

Could anyone please help figure this one out?

Thanks.

Hi Mike,

What do you mean by "Manually change"? Do you mean you go to FILE>PRINT and use the standard print dialogue or do you mean that you go to page setup and select to use a specific printer?

Appollo14,

Thanks for responding. I was able to fix this issue by simply re-packaging the application. I did have to use File>Print to manually change it, but its fixed now. Strange...

Thanks.
