Printer Error Message in MS Access

If I am able to print one report and all of a sudden get the following message for another nearly identical report, what do you think I have done please

"There was a problem retieving printer information for this project. The object may have been sent to a printer that is unavailable"

I may have sent it to an incorrect printer but surely Access and / or windows can handle this. Have I damaged something?

Many thanks

During testing, I have accidentally assigned reports to specific printers instead of using my system's default printer. This is a problem if that printer goes away or if a user does not have that printer defined.

Hi Lee555j5

I have checked and the report is assigned to the default printer however I am sure I did ask to print to a printer we no longer have, how do I solve this please. It is not sitting in the printer queue

If it can't print to the selected printer, then I don't think it generates the report at all. Does it print ok if you send it to a printer you know is good?

Thank you so much for all your trouble. I have solved it, but in a round about way, I copied over a report that was printing and deleted the contents and added the contents of the report that wasnt printing. In other words I created the report again using a report that was printing. Again, many thanks
