Printer Setting

[Guest]

This is a repost. Originaly post on Jan 31st 2006. Did not get a reply and
really need help. I am trying to fix this since many month without success.

Thank you in advance.
--------------------------------
I have created a report which I configure to print to a specific printer ( by
setting specific printer in page setup while the report is in desgin mode)
but when I try to print from a other computer then mine, it give me an error
message saying : This document was previously formatted for
the printer XXX, but that printer isn't available. Do you want to use the
default printer YYY?"

The same printer is obviously installed on all computer. The only thing I
can see that can cause the problem is that the printer is installed via
iPrint (Novell server) but I have to change all driver manually since we did
not manage to find any driver for Windows 2000 ( I need either the IBM
Proprinter XL III or Epson FX-1050 driver whitch are driver supported by the
IBM 6400 printer we possessed). The driver are on the Windows 2000 CD but
without the .inf file the admin told me they cannot add the driver to the
server.

Anyone know why access keep telling me my specific printer isn't available?
I am using access 97.

If the driver name used by the printer, the port or any other characteristic
of the printer is different on any of the machines where the report is run,
you will receive the error you are seeing. The printer must be set up
using the same driver and output location or port on all machines for it not
to pop that error.
