[AccessD] 2nd request - Printing envelopes via 2 printers.

...it would appear that the report isn't changing it's set printer driver 
which I've seen reports do before ...try this to force the change ...change 
the report's printer selection to use the "specific printer" option rather 
than the default (the wording may differ somewhat, I don't have any app 
open) and set it to the LJ5. When you then open the revised app on the 
upstairs system it will pop up a dialog saying the LJ5 isn't available and 
let you change the printer ...on that system ...to the newer one ...that 
should force your app to use the correct driver for that system.

...hth
