Printer Margins Won't Stay Set

Here is my problem. I have a continuous feed impact printer. But my access
reports are forcing me to have a bottom and a top margin of .5 inches. I
cannot have these margins are important information goes on the very bottom
of form being printed on. When I set bottom border to 0 (zero) as soon as I
tab out of the field.

How do I avoid this? I tried making the page bigger (using letter instead)
but now the printer is being fed to far and needs to be repositioned after
each print job. Is there a way to override this automatic margin setting?

Please help
 
This is a problem with the printer driver. If you have it set up for
Continuous Paper as the default, then it should not require any unprintable
area at the top and bottom of the page, i.e. you should be able to set these
margins to zero.

I do remember striking this problem when we changed some machines from Win98
to Win2000 years ago. The printer drivers for Win2k were faulty, in that
they did not support zero-margins for continuous paper. If that's what is
happening, it may be worth a try to get a driver update from the
manufacturer of your printer.
