Why do checkmarks not show when printing an Access form?

HCDAnalyst

We are printing a copy of the form after entering the data. After setting up
a new printer, it is not printing all of the data entered into the form.
Particularly the checkmarks in the Yes/No boxes -the text prints fine.

HCD,
Check the Display When property of each check box, and make sure it's set for
"Always"... and not Screen Only.

I'd suggest saving the Form as a Report and printing *that* (using a
criterion to select just the current record, either by basing the
report on a query referencing the form or in the WhereCondition
argument of the OpenReport VBA code). Forms are not optimized for
printing.
