Default Default Printer

Hi All,

I have an Access XP application with 100+ reports in it.
I am encountering problems when I distribute the app to
other users that don't necessarily have the same printers
as I do on my system. I save all my reports that I
develope with 'default printer' selected under the Page
Setup dialog box and figure that if I move the app to
another system it will use their 'Default Printer'. It
seems that this is not happening and when they try and
run the report it gives them an error to the effect that
the printer the report was formatted for is not available
and therefore can't preview the report. My only work
around right now is to save all my reports to a specific
printer "Adobe PDF" which we all have. I would prefer not
to have to do this but can't seem to find another
solution.

Thanks in advance for any solutions or suggestions!
