Default printer is SET, Access tells me NO

[JerryW.Morgan]

I am new to Access, BUT, when I try to generate a report
the program tells me I must set my default printer. My
default printer is set and I have even changed default
printers, no luck. When I ran the report on my wife's
computer, the report was generated and printed. Both are
Win98 IBM machines, both running Office97. Am I getting
this message because a printer is not attached?? (my
machine is a laptop) OR am I missing something?? Anybody
offer any help?
thanks..

What happens when you connect a printer to your laptop?

Try reinstalling the printer drivers onto your pc and repairing Office.

I am getting a smiliar message. I can print from the

FILE/PRINT path, but when trying to print using a macro
containing the OpenReport, print I get the message. If I
do the same macro, except do preview it works. I am using
a Toshiba laptop, printer connected. Is their a patch for
this problem or do I have something setup incorrectly?
