Form printing problem

[James]

Hi all,
I have a form that holds customer records which we have been printing out
for filing. I put a print record command button at the top of the form and
this has been working perfectly for at least the last four years printing on
plain paper using auto selection on the printer. Recently the form record has
started printing onto header paper. It doesn't matter whether I change the
properties on the printer it keeps printing to headed paper and the only way
round was to put plain paper into the headed paper tray.
We have now a new printer in the office which has been set as my default but
the form still tries to print to the old printer. I can get it to print by
going to File, Print setting the printer to the new printer and remembering
to select Selected record(s).
All my other forms on Access work perfectly with the command button are
using the new default printer.
Any theories as to what may be going on I would prefer not to have to make a
new form.
Many thanks in advance

Forms are for adding, editing and viewing data. They are not designed to be
printed. Create a report based on the form and print that selecting the
current record. You can even save a from as a report as a shortcut to
desingning a new report.

Hi Chris,

Thank you for your reply.
Even when I saved the form as a report I had the same problems.

As mentioned I have been using and printing this form for 4 years without a
problem and this was the only form that I was having problems with.

I've managed to find the problem it was a simple Page set up problem. I can
only presume that someone had gone in and changed the settings.
