[AccessD] Printing in Access 2002

This what I just got back from Bill:


FYI:  I just spoke with the City of Fargo who was having the same problem.
The printer that didn't work was a relatively new HP LaserJet.  The one that
works is an older HP DeskJet (ink).

Thanks.
--Bill

He is very glad not to have had to go to Fargo to resolve this (a 500 mile
round trip!)

Hi Liz

Interesting. Out of curiosity, could you get from Bill which printer
driver didn't work and which did?
Also, for Bill, remember that and old proven LaserJet printer driver
will print to most of the new fancy models but, of course, only with
the features of the old driver. Quite often an old driver, native to
Windows, prints faster.
