    Report prints garbage after page 3


    Hello,
    I have an access database - created a long time ago - that is giving me some grief.
    One of the reports I'm running ends up being 4 pages.
    If I just hit print - it prints 2.5 pages, then prints pages of garbage (until I cancel). I am able to print each page individually fine and can print pages 3-4, but if I try to print pages 1-4 - same result (garbage after 2nd page).
    I've tried this from several computers, and from several printers - same result.
    Where do I start to troubleshoot this??
    Thanks!!
    Amber

    Check whether the Source data Table is corrupted or not. Open it in Datasheet View and check through to the end physically.

    Copy the structure of the table and create a new table.
    1. Create an append query to transfer the data from the existing table to the new table and run the Query.
    2. Check both table contents whether all the records from the old table are copied.
    3. Use the new table as source for the report and check the print result.

    Thanks for your help.
    This didn't solve the problem.

    When we first tested - we tried from one users computer, with an HP Printer.
    Then we tried from another users computer - on another HP Printer.
    Same results both times.
    Now we have found that we can print fine to a totally different printer (a Konica Minolta).
    Does this mean it is a driver issue?
    We have been using the same printers/drivers for years - it's odd that this is just happening now...
