Printing Problem

[alison.justice]

I have a report that I created, it looks perfect on the screen but when I
print it on my personal printer it does not print like what it look like on
the screen. If I print it on my work computer it prints fine.

If the database is created in Access 2003 and I'm printing in Access 2003 to
my work computer it prints fine, if I open it up in Access 2007 and print it
to my personal printer that is when it is printing funky.

Would this happen if I haven't saved the database in the Access 2007
version, or is there something else wrong?

Hi Alison,

It is pretty hard to know without more detail. It could be due to font
differences, resolution differences, maximum print area differences or who
know what. Please describe what you mean by "funky" in more detail.

I discovered the problem, the printer settings will not let me change the
margins. I want the left to be .25 and right to be .25, but it defaults when
I try to change it back to Left .483 and Right 1.33. How can I correct this
without having to resize all my reports?

Get a different printer.

Seriously, it appears that your print has no-print zones that are .483
on the left and 1.33 on the right. If that is the case there is nothing
you can do to allow Access to print in those zones. You have to have a
printer that will print with those margins.

PERHAPS, there is an updated driver for your printer that will allow
this, but it is unlikely.
