[AccessD] more on printing

In case you haven't discovered it, using page setup will set the
PrtDevMode and override you report.Printer settings. Not only that, it
appears to override the report.PrtDevMode settings as well.   We gave up
on the Printer and PrtDevMode methods and went back to API calls.

I think my main problem has been the definite separation between setting
the default printer for the session and setting the printer for a
particular form and report -- I think I'm OK now. :) Thanks everyone for
your help and hope you don't hear from me again on the subject! ;)
