I have a db on an MS Access 2003 machine that will not let you see any
reports. It gives you an error message about printer object not found. This
only happens when it is set on this one specific printer set as default. It
has happened with the two last releases. If I change the default printer to
another printer it works fine. Anyone know of a solution or cause?

Several users have reported a similar scenario, generally with network
printers.

They report that the issue ends up being that the printer is not correctly
installed, so even though it shows up in other applications, Access does not
find it. Try deleting the printer completely (answering Yes if you are asked
about deleting the associated files). Then make sure the printer is
correctly installed on the server machine, and then reinstall it on your
workstation.
