[AccessD] Default Printer for Access Report

I have a reporting tool built in Access (2002) that is essentially a
wizard where users pick a report, set criteria and then see their
output.  There are nearly 100 reports in the app.  When a user choses to
print a report, the default printer that comes up in the print dialog
box is the default printer set on their machine, EXCEPT for one of the
reports.  On that one report only, the default printer that comes up in
the dialogue box is a different printer.  All users get this different
printer.  I did not write any code or make any settings to indicate
printer choice.  What could be happening?  How can I get this one report
to print to the user's default printer?

Note:  The only way that users can print a report is with a toolbar
PRINT button that I brings up the dialogue box.  There is no file menu
from the reports and there is no button with a printer icon that sends
reports straight to the printer.
