Printing Problem
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? -- -- Alison |

Printing Problem
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.

Printing Problem
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? -- Alison "alison.justice" wrote: 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.

Printing Problem
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.
