Hi Professionals,

I have a strange printer problem that just showed up out
of no where with Access. The problem is I'm trying to
print a report that is immediate. What I mean by immediate
is, this method does not prompt for the printer to use
when these reports are start to print it just starts
printing automatically. This is fine and the way I want
it. But out of nowhere, somehow the process to print is
looping or something. It just shows the hourglass forever
without printing anything. I have made no modifications to
the report or the print process. My defalut printer has
long ago been set and remains unchanged. Do I need to
reset something from within Access to fix this? Other
reports will print though just not the one that was set as
immediate. Just keep in mind nothing was changed. Any help
would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
 
Is it network or local printer?
If it is local and the report is big enough. In printer -> right click ->
properties check your printing preferences.
If your spooling is set to print only after the last page is spooled - it
might be your problem.
If the space on your HDD are not enough and spooling file is growing too big
forcing Windows to start chocking - another possibility (linked with the
first one).
Try the immediate print option for the preferences...
