Have you tried this with other MS products? This really sounds more like you need to update office on those machines than a samba problem. I would say that if word comes up and finds the default printer, you need to try to update your office install.

I think I've seen a few others with similiar issues, but so far no answers that have 
applied to me.

Basically, I have a solaris 8 box with Samba 3.0.2a that serves up all my windows 
printers. All printers for windows are configured in cups 1.1.20 as raw queues and I 
have point and print setup to push drivers to all the users.

I'm not having issues with any other office apps, but Access 2002 is having trouble. 
When users open a database and try to print, Access 2002 fails to detect the default 
printer. They have to select a printer from the file menu and then this printer 
becomes the default printer for all users (which is a problem as users are on 
different floors and have to constantly change the printer).

I know this seems like a small issue, but it's one of the last unexpected hurdles we 
have and we'd like to make our users happy. How can we make access 2002 detect a users 
default printer like ALL the other apps do.
