printing Access 2003 reports to an HP LaserJet 3550

[ENein]

Whenever we try to print Access 2003 reports to our Color LaserJet 3550n
printer, we get the following error:

PCL XL error
Subsystem: Kernel
Error: ColorSpaceMismatch
Operator: VendorUniquea
Position: 9

We've contacted HP and they maintain this is an issue with Microsoft: "At
this time Access really needs a PS driver." It seems multiple people are
having this issue and have posted to HP's support forum but HP has not
offered a solution other than using a different model's beta driver. The
only update for Office that I can see would be relevant is SP2, which our
users have already installed.

Has anyone else seen this issue and/or found a workaround for it?

lol, what a crock...

Yeah, avoid using HP products until they are mature enough to be considered
"obsolete".

HTH,

We have been having the exact same error message with the same printer for
Access 2003 reports. This has been an issue for us for 3 months now. I
have posted to HP's forums, as well as this one, and have not gotten any
solution other than use a different printer.

It's a little reassurance to know others are having the same problem.
Please let me know if you find a solution. Thank you.
