Microsoft Access 2010 - Can I turn off the auto-detection of printers when testing printing on a development computer?

When I modify a Microsoft Access 2010 application and print on my test system, Access automatically changes the printer settings to my printer. When I install the application on the client system, they have to reconfigure printer settings. How can I solve this problem. Thanks!

Make sure you've set the reports to use the Default printer:

Thanks for your note. That's the issue, my client has to set certain reports to specific printers. Some double sided, some not, etc. If I print a test report on my development system, I've had to let it print on my default printer. Then, they have to reconfigure the report for their printers.
