Reports Printing To My Own Printer

Jan 10, 2008

Good morning,

I've created a pretty powerful Access Database that pulls information out of some ODBC tables we have on our local server. Of course, I created the database and all the forms and reports on my work computer here. But, when I was finished, I sent that entire database out to probably 20 or 30 people in the company. On a daily basis, they run the same program from their own computer and they like to print/export/etc. the reports that are produced. However, I don't understand why those reports print our on my personal printer (the printer is on the network). If they have a default printer at their site, why wouldn't it print there? Also, I haven't included any printing macros or VBA coding. I'm tired of having 30 or 40 sheets of paper print out on my printer daily. Any suggestions?

Reports :: Printing Labels On Label Printer?

Jun 11, 2013

I've created labels in my database and when I print them on a label printer, I get a blank label in between my printed labels. I've checked the printer settings and properties and can't find anything. I've also checked the database properties and can't find anything. Is there something in the database that I'm missing?

Printing To Specific Printer

Apr 20, 2004

Does anyone know if there is a way to setup a button on a form that when pressed, will print to a specific printer (that's not the default)? For example, I have one button on my form that prints 2 copies to the default printer, then I want the other button on the form to print on another department's printer.

Thanks!

Printing Receipts On POS Printer-Epson

Apr 17, 2007

I have an access POS application which prints receipt on a receipt printer. I do not have a specified length of the receipt as sales vary in the quantity of items . Does anyone know how I can code it so that the last text is the end of the report and the paper is cut off right there? And also the printer is connected to Parallel port so i want these print commands to go to this particular port...

I wonder whether this could be done with printer driver installed.......... If so how the page length of receipt template has to be set. the width is ofcourse limited to 3 inches but as I told u guys length is unkown.....and dont think stillwe can resolve printing to specific printer issue(having driver nstalled).

thanks

Error Printing A Access Report To An Epson Printer

Jun 14, 2005

I have recently changed computers from a WindowsNT to and XP. When using the NT machine, I am able to print my Access report. However, when I hook up the XP machine and request a report from one specific database, I get the following message....this message also comes up if I try to open print preview or page setup.

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

I don't think it is a printer error as the error is occurring in this one database. I have successfully printed a test page and can open up other Access databases and print. I also tried converting the database to the 2002 format....but that did not make a difference either. There must be a setting in the database that is causing the error.....

Does anyone have any suggestions???

Modules & VBA :: Printing Code Slowing Down Printing Reports?

Feb 25, 2014

I was having trouble just setting each report with a particular print method - for some reason they just kept forgetting their individual settings and resorting to default on the machine.

This meant reports were printing on the wrong paper, or the wrong size paper, the wrong orientation and some times refusing to print if it couldn't find the paper (which is useful in runtime as it doesn't display error messages)

So I used Reports(rpt).printer properties (I forgot where I found this) to hard code the printer properties into each print command... this meant I had to use another function to insert the variables.

So all I had to do was say:

Code:
PrintMe("Invoice","InvoiceID",iID)

and a report would print to exactly how I wanted... but it's just too slow!

See attached for full code, I have a niggling feeling it may be the function: PrinterOK, to make sure the printer exists or not.

Code:
Function PrinterOK(sPrinterName As String) As Boolean
Dim MyPrinter As Printer
PrinterOK = False
For Each MyPrinter In Printers
If MyPrinter.DeviceName = sPrinterName Then
PrinterOK = True
Exit Function
End If
Next
End Function

I know it's the printing code, because if I stop the printing and just preview then it shows up almost instantly.

Reports :: Possible To Change The Default Printer For The Report?

Sep 18, 2014

My workstation has a default printer that only prints A4, but I have an Access 2007 file with reports that require A3.

When I open these reports they see the A4 'default' printer.

If I try to change to the A3 printer in the report page setup (in design or print preview mode) it doesn't change - it keeps the default 'A4' and/or Access crashes.

If I change my workstation default printer to

The A3 printer and then open the Access file & report it works Ok (it picks up the A3 printer as default).

Can I use VBA to set the default printer and page setup to A3 when the report opens?

Reports :: How To Automate Select Printer Without Using Dialog Box

Jul 16, 2013

I have a database with a mail label printer and another printer attached to the computer. I would like the user to hit the command button for each of the printers and have the selected data printed without having to select which printer to use each time.

Note: Printer "set up" doesn't work, even when form is in design view, because after print is done, back to dialogue box when trying to print the next time.

Reports :: Find PaperSize Value Of Printer For A Specific Form

Apr 17, 2013

I have a custom form setup for 1up 1.5inch labels on the print server. We are printing these on Okidata Printers using an Epson driver.

I want to know how you can find the specific printersize number value for a form called "1_5upLabels" which is a custom form.

I am not looking to do this manually in the page setup for the report but to programmatically so that it's dynamic.

Is there a way I can loop through the forms for this printer and check for the form name?

Reports :: Printing Twice As Many Pages As Necessary

Feb 25, 2014

I have a report where the detail section, holding 4 subreports, takes up 5 inches in the middle of the page between the header and footer. We want the entire 5 x 8 area enclosed in a box on every page. I have tried to achieve this by putting a line in the Detail_Format section:

Code:
boxDetail.Height = 5 * 1440 * Pages

However, when I run the report, I get pages 1/3 correctly, then 2/3 and 3/3 with no detail section or box, and then pages 4/3, 5/3, and 6/3 with blank detail sections and no box. If it's a 1-page report, the same - page 1/1 is perfect and page 2/1 is blank, no data and no box. I also sometimes (but not always) get overflow errors from the Detail_Format event.

I know it's not a margin error because that would be every other page, and the page count wouldn't be doing that. (Still, I have scrupulously checked every margin, and they all look fine.) Getting this look on the report is a priority. Any way to achieve the same result with the box without causing the missing data and extra pages?

Reports :: Sub-report Not Printing

Jan 13, 2015

I have a report with one sub-report. It previews correctly and prints correctly from my ACCDB. However, when I create an ACCDE, the sub-report previews correctly and then does not print. I have tried the following and none work: In the main report, deleted the links and changed the subreports record source.

Changed layout for print to no
Changed filter on empty matches to no

Moved everything from detail to page header.When I put code in the subreport to set a flag when loaded and queried that flag in the main report, the subreport never admitted to being loaded when run from the ACCDE (again works fine from the ACCDB).

Reports :: Printing Into Pdf From A Report

Mar 1, 2013

I'd like to print out a report so that each record should be printed into an individual pdf file. When printing manually, record by record, I use an app called cuteprinter for converting reports into pdf. But that one needs saving path for each individual pdf file. What could I do if I'd like to make a series of record printing? Would there be a way of automatic generating path and file name for each record's print?

Reports :: Printing A Signature On A Report

Feb 10, 2015

I have an application where I have some users in the field with tablets and they deliver a package and the receiver will sign for it (like UPS or FedEx essentially). They sign my application and then the application saves the signature to a SQL Database in binary data. I'm using the Microsoft InkPicture ActiveX control to achieve this. After they sign, I have a line of code that equals:

Me.RecBySignature = Me.RecBySig.Ink.Save

This works fine and I can also recall the signature to the form when the form is re-opened.how to do is to put the signature on a report. Is there a way to "draw" the signature on the report? Or to print it to the screen?
