> Situation: .mdb is on K drive which is accessable from two computers (IOW, 
> K drive is server). No problems in the past when there was a LaserJet 5 
> hooked up to both computers. By that I mean if we were "downstairs", 
> printing would print on the downstairs LJ5, and "upstairs" would print on 
> the upstairs LJ5.
> In both cases, the envelope was put in the tray over on the left side.
>
> Now, upstairs has new printer (LJ3052) and the envelope goes in center 
> instead of left side. Access does not automatically adjust - the "to"
> address is printing at top of the envelope and the "from" address is not 
> there at all. If I put paper in the tray that the envelope pulls from, it 
> shows that it's printing as if it were pulling from the left.
>
> So, I tried putting the envelope over to the left and it pulls it through, 
> but doesn't print, and gives me an error message that there was no paper 
> pickup and to check that the paper was loaded correctly, etc.
>
> Does this mean that I have to design additional reports for all envelopes 
> that will be printed upstairs, designing for this specific printer?
>
> Assuming you give me suggestions, unless they are within next 45 minutes, 
> I won't be able to try them til Monday when I'm back here at work.
