Need printing help

[Mgreencornerstone]

I have a print button on a form to print it. THe problem is that it always prints to a certain printer. How can I adjust the code so that it prints to the default printer on machine access is running on.

Hi
Can you post that code that is linked to the form? Also, have you considered printing a report instead of a form?

Hi

I tried your code and cannot re-create the problem, nor can I see anything wrong with it. Instead of printing the form, have you considered printing a report? If so, does that print to the default printer correctly?
