SYMPTOMS
When you change printers in Microsoft Access, some of the printer settings
for your forms and reports change.
CAUSE
This functionality is controlled by the Windows Common Dialog dynamic-link
library (DLL). The same behavior occurs in Microsoft Write.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
MORE INFORMATION
Microsoft Access retains certain printer settings with form and report
objects.
Some of these settings will not be transferable between printer drivers.
This being the case, when the printer driver is changed from within the
report, some settings will revert to the default settings for that
printer.
This happens when the printer is explicitly changed in the File Print
Setup option within the report, or when the printer is implicitly changed
in the report by changing the default printer in Microsoft Windows.
This behavior can also occur when the printer port changes.
