[AccessD] Graphics not printing

Hi David:

Access reports like to print to the same printer-driver from which they were
created. Report printing is supposed to be seamless between similar printers
possessing the same features but a frustrating history has proven that
wrong. When a new computer is added to the network, it is supposed to
download and install the appropriate driver from the either the computer or
network printer (This is where a server with active directory comes in
great... for hold drivers of all OSs on the network.) that is hosting the
printer so the driver or driver type will remain consistent.

Vista may not have or be able to download from a host the appropriate
driver. Check the manufacturer of the printer to see whether they have
updated their driver set for your printer and get the latest version.

To make a short story long it is a driver issue. You may have to find a
driver set for the printer that has a driver for each OS including Vista.

HTH

Subject: [AccessD] Graphics not printing

I have a report which has an embedded jpg image.  On some computers, 
when the report is viewed, then printed from the print preview the 
image does not print.  However when the report is printed directly 
without previewing it prints with the image.

It doesn't happen on all computers or on one particular type of 
printer.  In one case the report was working fine until the computer 
was changed (the new OS was Vista). Now the report doesn't include 
the graphic even though the same printer is being used.

My initial thinking is that it is something to do with the printer 
driver on the computer but this is out of my area of expertise (which 
is very narrow anyway :-)).

Does anyone have any thoughts on what I can do?
