    PrintOut not consistently printing to default tray

    Our printer is set up so that the 2nd tray is filled with blue paper, and the 1st tray is filled with normal white. For this computer, the default is to tray 2.



    For my program, depending on what is chosen, it will either print out the form "Login" or "Blank Test Sheet".
    "Login" prints to blue, "Blank Test Sheet" goes to white. Both are using the same DoCmd.PrintOut statement

    Is there a reason why DoCmd.PrintOut would print to a different tray other than the one specified as the default settings for the printer? Or is there a setting on the form that would need to be changed?

    Thanks,
    -Matt

    These both apply to reports, can the same thing be applied to Forms by switching to applications.forms?

    No, but what do you see in the example(s) that you think you could use on forms?

    That's homework for tonight unfortunately.

    However, it seems like there is not an easy solution as to why one form prints correctly and the other does not.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
