label printers setup

[merlin2049er]

Hi, hmm I'm facing an issue with regards to setting up a secondary label printer (not default printer) for about 25 users ( 5 label printer in 5 offices).

The issue is, if I configure it for one user (ie myself) and distribute the .accdb, it continually asks them that the printer wasn't setup on their pc, and asks them to setup the page, margins, columns etc...

I've got a login script that copies over the .accdb daily to these users.

Any options? That might work? or I'll have to continually set it up on each of their pcs.

Thanks,
Joe

If the report is set to NOT default but the specific printer, then all users should have this printer in order to print labels and it wont ask them to change printers.
Save the report as SPECIFIC printer.

or
you could setup a tUsers table, with their userID, printer
then when they open the db, it gets their setting in the table, and assign the printer.

vUser = Environ("Username")
vPrinter = dlookup("[printer]","tUsers","[userID]='" & vUser & "'")
'print report to there
