Default Default Printer in Access 2007

Hi,

I discovered something interesting that I hope you can help me to easily fix.

My default printer doesn't print color - strictly black ink only. I
designed reports in Access 2007 with the Default Printer selected in Page
Setup.

When I needed to see a color version of a report, I selected a color printer
from my network - no problems.

I installed a copy of my app on another user's PC who happens to have a
default color printer and when they tried to print the report using their
default printer - it printed without color! If they selected their printer
off of the network list, it printed color.

I changed my default printer to a color printer from the network, and when I
tried to print the report on my new "default" printer, it too printed in
black.

Then I selected a color printer for my default printer in Windows, created a
quick report using the default setting, and printed via the default and it
printed in color. Now I know what happened, but...

Other than doing a lot of cutting and pasting and recreating my reports with
a color default printer, is there any other way to do this? Either VBA in a
one time fix and saving or some setting in the report that I am unaware of.

I don't imagine there are many folks defaulting to a black ink printer
anymore.

Thanks in advance to anyone who responds.
