Wizard cannot generate report

I upgraded/installed Office Pro 2003 on my PC with W2000, also SP1 for Office
2003 and MS jet 4.0 SP8 for W2000.

Afterwards I can no longer generate reports in Access, neither in existing
(converted) nor in new databases.

The message "Wizard cannot generate report" is displayed.

Neither it is possible to open an exiting report in design mode, nor run the
report.

Does anybody know what this is about and have a solution??
 
Here is the answer to my question found in KB:

"ACC: Cannot Use Report Wizard Without Default Windows Printer

RESOLUTION
Follow the steps below to define a default printer:
1. In Windows Control Panel, double-click the Printers icon.
2. If your printer does not appear in the Installed Printers box, choose the
Add button, select your printer in the List Of Printers box, and then choose
Install to install the driver for your printer.
3. Once the driver for your printer is installed, choose the Connect button.
In the Ports box, select the correct port for your printer, and then choose
OK.
4. Choose the Set As Default Printer button.
5. Choose the Close button.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Access versions
1.0, 1.1, and 2.0. We are researching this problem, and will post new
information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

APPLIES TO
• Microsoft Access 1.0 Standard Edition
• Microsoft Access 1.1
• Microsoft Access 2.0 Standard Edition "

This also applies to Access 2003 only without the symptoms.
MS probably used the same programmer for Access 2003 as for the old
versions, since this was not a problem in Access 97 nor in Access 2000.

Where is QA?
