Report Header Not Printing

[LeAnn]

I have Access 2003. On a single task, up to 5 reports will be previewed.
When sent to a particular color printer (HP 4700 N), some of the report
headers are not printing. They are pretty much identical reports to one that
does print the header. In my printer/faxes console, it says the driver is
for a HP 460 PCL6. Would this cause the problem? If I print the reports
directly rather than preview them, the header prints. Unfortunately these
are large reports that don't always need to be printed.

Any suggestions?
Thanks
LeAnn

It is unlikely to be a printer driver problem, unless the Report Header
contains completely different kind of stuff than the rest of the report
(e.g. it only contains lines and no text, or a completely different font, or
vertical text.)

In report design view, check things like:
- the Visible property of the Report Header section.
- the ForeColor of the things that don't print.
- any Conditional Formatting on the boxes that don't print.
- anything in the Event properties of the report or its sections.

If there is anything in the report's module, copy it out to Notepad, and set
the report's HasModule property to No. Then compact/repair the database. If
that averts the problem, the issue is probabl in the code.
