Jerry, you were exactly right; it was a devicemode problem. The printers got reinstalled when we were going through tdb problems, and landscape/portrait trick not re-done for all of them.

RE: [Samba] access 2003 clients can't print to samba 3 server ( access 2000 can)
Has anyone else heard of or had any issues printing with Access 2003 to samba servers? Other office 2003 products print fine, and Access 2000 worked, but Access 2003 will not print to a samba server here. In order to get access 2003 to print, I have to change default printer to something on a windows server, and then it works? That sounds more than a little suspicious. What sort of setup do you have? Samba == CUPS? Yes Raw print queue or the CUPS driver? Raw, w2k driver installed from print$ share. This is not a manufacturer's driver with all the bell's and whistles either, just simple default w2k minidriver. I have had some issues printing reports from Access to some of our printers that claim to be PCL6 compatible ( and have PCL6 drivers ), but only work with the PCL5 drivers. What happens when you try to print? Here's the latest. When I have some samba printers installed as the default printer, File... Print-Preview causes the window to momentarily flash light like it redrew itself, but that's it. File... Print (Ctrl-P) does not seem to do anything. No print property windows or anything. With Access 2000, everything worked. With the same printers on a windows server, File... Print-Preview causes the window (that previously just flashed light like a redraw) to display the preview in the same window. Print-Preview toggles back and forth between these views. File... Print (Ctrl-P) brings up a Print window, and here I can see the samba printers that didn't work if they were the default printer, select them, and print using them. But if those printers were previously the default printer, none of it works. Through trial and error, I've discovered that our HP LaserJet 4050 and 8100 on the samba server both fail if they are the default, but oddly enough a HP LaserJet IIISi on the same server works fine. If I install one of the same failing drivers (8100) as a local printer (even while keeping existing driver), print preview and other operations work fine. It's only when the samba printer is selected as the default printer that I have problems :(. ~ Daniel --- This message is the property of Time Inc. or its affiliates.

I can't imagine why the print preview operation would need to contact the print server. Our Access 2002 ( XP ) system works fine with: Samba-3.0.1 CUPS-1.1.20 ( raw print queues ) - HP 4050N - HP 4500N ( colour ) - Ricoh AP3200 - Ricoh AF2027 I've just tried copying one of our Access shells to my PC, creating a small local table, creating a report of the table, pulling the network cable out, and running the report, and it doesn't seem to have a problem doing a print preview for a network printer that is unavailable. Maybe Access 2003 is asking something new and M$-specific of the server? I'm suspicious that this is a) M$ being clever about not printing to a samba server b) Some other issue with Access 2003. Maybe if you were handy with a packet sniffer you could see what happens when Access 2003 wants to do a print preview. I know I'd have no idea what to do :) Sorry I can't be more help.
