Report printer

[jacob]

How can I make a report print to a network printer by default and use the
printers settings? Is there code to do this?

File -> Page Set Up -> Page Tab -> Use specific printer -> select the
printer.

I have done this. However, when I go to another computer on the network and
try to print, it is defaulting to their default printer.

Yes, that is the question. "I wish to know how to print to a specific
printer *regardless* of the local computer's default? If that's the case,
maybe the experts here can guide you to that end also."

Hi jacob,

Each computer has their own default printer, usually selected by the

computer's user. The process Steve mentioned needs to be performed on each
computer, however, there is a risk that each user will reset the default.

Perhaps your question was not phrased exactly how you intended. Do you

wish to know how to print to a specific printer *regardless* of the local
computer's default? If that's the case, maybe the experts here can guide
you to that end also.

Jacob:

The method I discussed in my previous post IS the method to select a
specific printer regardless of the current default. The critical issue is
that the printer must exist and be named the same way on each computer. If
the user hasn't connected to that printer on their box, it will revert to
the default.

Ah ok. Maybe I did not reboot. I had connected her to the printer in the
same way it is named on mine. However, when I would try to print on it, I
would get a dialogue box. I will try rebooting. and double check my names.
Thank you.
