Cannot change page setup from letter to legal

Using latest version of Access, XP Pro O/S.

Using HP 4100 printer.

When I choose legal and tray 2, the setting changes back to letter.

I have three forms to print. The first form maintains the setting and prints legal size. The other two forms will not maintain the setting. Am i nuts?

Under the File menu page setup did you go to the tab maked page and make sure you have it set to a specific printer? We had a recent problem, similar but opposite the printer had an opptional tray 2 that is used for regular paper and I couldn't print to tray two, found out it was a printer setting.

Hope this helps

I don't think this makes you nuts. It makes you someone who posted in the wrong forum perhaps :D
Seriously, this is an issue with your OS & printer driver. They can be a pain I know, and are difficult to understand if you like to think of printers as dumb, point and shoot type devices. They're not any more (at least the drivers are usually more complex than to allow that level of simplicity).
There are a number of possible issues, but your IT people are probably the best place to start from.
