Add Printer Wizard->Local printer attached to this computer->Create a new port->Standard TCP/IP Port Specify the IP address and the printer wizard will create the Port Name for you and you should be set. As far as Windows is concerned it will route local print jobs to the IP port which then routes it to the printer hanging off of that IP address. -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of John Skolits Sent: Wednesday, May 02, 2007 10:34 AM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: Re: [AccessD] No Print dialog box and new Acrobat Here's what my customer found out. ----- The problem is defiantly linked to the printer. However her default printer is not a multifunction device, just a standard HP network printer. If I set her default printer to "Acrobat PDF" it works, when I set it back to any of our network printers it does not. If I give her administrative access to her PC it works with the network printer (Not a good solution). I've checked all other users and they're either printing to a local printer or have admin access to their PC. So there seems to be an issue with network printers and non-admin access.hrmm ---- So that's the latest.

Paul Message Received: May 02 2007, 03:47 PM From: "John Skolits" To: "'Access Developers discussion and problem solving'" Cc: Subject: [AccessD] No Print dialog box and new Acrobat Anyone ever run into this. I have a customer who added a user. They get a 2501 error when running any report. After further testing, it turns out they can't print anything from Access. When they try to print from a table or query, nothing happens, no print Dialog Box. They do have a default printer. Yet, they 'can' print from Word or notepad. Here's the real interesting thing. This s a brand new user to their network and this problem doesn't happen when other people use their Log-in on the same PC. The only other new thing is that this PC has Adobe 8 which automatically added the Adobe Acrobat printing feature to the Access menus. We are thinking this may be related to the problem. Ideas?
