Thats really weird. I pull up a 2002 database and try to print out a
table and it works fine. What were you trying to print? Report? Macro?
Form?.... How big is your database file? I would be interested in
seeing if its database specific, or maybe just something on your machines.

I guess I should have been more specific and said that I'm not having
trouble with any other "Microsoft" Office application (Word, Excel,
Powerpoint, etc). Also, ANY version of Word, Excel, and Powerpoint
(office 97, office 2000, office 2002) work perfectly. Only when Access
gets to version 2002 or up are there problems.
I can tell you specifically that 3 weeks ago before we switched to
Samba we were on NT print servers and did NOT have this problem. I can
also say that locally installed printers and printers installed on
workstations as IP printers (meaning not on a print server, just setup
to print to directly an IP address) DO NOT have this problem. ONLY
printers with a "Samba Printer port" have this issue. So, having said
that, I think I can squarely point to samba as the root of the
problem. It would appear to me that access doesn't behave like the
rest of the office suite when it comes to finding the default printer
on a workstation and consequently is causing the issue with samba.

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.

How can we make access 2002 detect a users default printer like
ALL the other apps do.
