error message when creating a report

Anytime I try to create a report (using the design view or report wizard) I
get the following error message.

"There was a problem retrieveing printer info. for this object. The object
may have been sent to a printer that is unavailable."

I know my printer is working but I am wondering if I need to set something
in my access database?

If I open a table or query and hit print preview it shows me what the print
job will look like. But if I dont open the table or query and just single
click on the object and ask for a print preview I get the same error message.

Any clue as to what I am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

The error message could be a corruption caused by Name AutoCorrect:

Alternatively, if this is Access 2003 with a network printer, it could be a
problem with the way the printer is registered. You could identify this
issue by opening the Immediate Window in Access (Ctrl+G), and entering
things like:
? Application.Printer.DeviceName
? Application.Printers.Count
? Application.Printers(1).Devicename
