No offense but I walk over to the printer and see if the report is there.

Between "paper-out" and "ink-out" and "network-out" and "munged-printing"
and ..., there are SO many ways a print job could be flagged as working, but
not have actually worked.
I'm not aware of an Access-specific test for "success" in a print job.
Are you asking for a way to TELL Access that certain rows/data have been
printed?

I know that there are many things like out of ink and so that can effect the
printing but the user can reprint if not able to read printout for some
reason . I need to know when they sent it to the printer and not just
previewed (TELL Access that certain rows/data have been printed) to flag as
billed so that I can mark data as billed and archive the data and not
include in next billing

I think maybe he means is there a way to mark it in the table as
printed. Our accounting system does that. There is a field named "Print"
and a P is placed there when a new order is entered or an edit of any
sort is made. That way, you can go in and print all orders that have
been changed since the last print. Upon printing, the P in the "Print"
field is deleted.
My guess would be create a new field and to put some code in the "On
Dirty" event to put a character in that field....that is, if the above
is what you're trying to accomplish.

One approach to doing this would be to pop up a dialog box at a point after
the report had been opened. This dialog box would ask the user if the
report had printed satisfactorily.
If not, no changes. If it had, add code that updates a (new) field in your
table to show "printed"/"billed" as either a "Yes/No" or a Date/Time value.
Good luck
