Access 97 Printing

I am having trouble with printing from Access 97 on a network.

Win 98se peer to peer network
Comp A has the mdb file and the HP printer connected to LPT1

Comp B opens mdb file on Comp A and prints to shared HP on Comp A.

Comp A crashed and I installed a new hard drive and reloaded all app's and
backed up data, including the mdb file.

Now when I open the mdb file from Comp A it wants to print using the shared
network printer address that Comp B uses.

Is there a way around this problem? Can I use a different print config for
each workstation?

Thanks.

If you want to get under the hood take a look at:

He has lots of sample code in both C and VB.

Thank you in advance for any and all assistance. I recently purchased an Ink Dye Sublimation printer and I'm looking to do something with Access for my employee ID Cards. I know I shouldn't store images for bloating purposes, but how do I get an image into a report, say for printing ID cards, if I don't store it in the program? Michael

Hi, I have an Access 2002 - 2003 database. I am using Access 2003. Whenever I link an image all it shows is the filename. Not the image. Other versions of Access can link the image just fine. The properties look the same whether I use XP or 2003 versions of Office. If I take an earlier version of Access and link the image, it puts the...

Hi, I know Access allows for easy construction of a report setup to print labels from a table/query, etc. I've done that one. It works pretty well for what I need. However, is there an example anywhere that someone can point me to that is more flexible? And, I mean flexible in this regard:
