Envelope printing

[Phil]

Hi,
I have a form with a command button that views a report which is actually a
#10 business envelope layout printing in landscape mode (printing from end
first). I have two different printers (epson inkjet and HP laserjet) and the
printing works fine on one but not the other. It appears that the page setup
changes based on which printer is the default printer. Is there a trick to
fix this or am I missing something? I'm trying to create a program that will
print business size envelopes (end first, not flap first) on any
printer....... Maybe that's not possible.

Thank in advance...

Printing an envelope is no different that printing any other report.
Different printers have different margin no-print areas.
Perhaps you're cutting off printing because of that.
Perhaps it's because you are using Access 2000 and have not installed
service pack 1/1a.
A bit more info would have been helpful.
