can't even edit my reports

Something has happened to our database. Reports that used to work now give
me "There was a problem retrieving printer information for this object. The
object may have been sent to a printer that is unavailable." Even when I try
to open it in design mode, I get this. All of the reports seem to have this
problem. What can be the problem, is there anyway to fix it?

Access won't open any report if there is no printer.
Have you changed or deleted the Printer?
What happens if you add a new printer driver?

nah

I do. If I highlight a report name, I can use the file menu to print it
directly without looking at it. But I cannot print preview, or view in
design. O cannot even open the designer to create a new report. This was
only happening in one database, but onceI imported a "damaged" report into
another database to see if it could print it there, now I can't create new
reports in that database. I can still design and preview them, but the "new"
design a report gives me the same message.
