Make sure the report is set up for Specific printer instead of Default
printer.

Subject: [AccessD] A97. Report with printer and paper selection picks
wrongpaper when deployed on identical Windows XP


Hi all

The report is set up for printing to a custom printer (named Invoice) using
a NEC Pinwriter P9XL driver, this matrix printer and endless forms. This
prints fine with my machine with same Windows XP and Access as the client.

However, when the app is moved to the client, with the Invoice printer set
up in exactly the same way, without doing any preview or print and no
messagebox "This report was previously .. would you like to etc." - when I
open the report in design view - the paper format has been set to Letter!
Margins are preserved.

When I (re)select paper format to endless forms and saves the report, it
prints fine and will not fall back to Letter. The Invoice printer is set up
with all paper settings (default, advanced etc.) set to endless forms. Still
Letter is picked initially for paper format.

We've tried in the registry to remove all other paper formats than the
endless we need, but it seems that Windows when accessing the printer,
rebuilds the list of standard paper formats.

Anyone having a cure for this?
