I am using MS Access to manage data and create various reports that are sent to the a printer.
When sending the Ms Access reports to the Lexmark Pro5500, it prints everything correctly except the graphics (.jpg, or .gif).
The printer DOES print text in appropriate formatting (font, size, and color).
The printer DOES NOT print color or B&W images.

If the very same image are put into a MS Word document they print correctly.

This problem does not occur on any other (color or b&w) printer on our network.

Has anyone else experienced a similar problem?
Any ideas where to search for a solution?

This is my first time on this forum.
Thank you
Doug

I'm posting to this thread now because I have found a "solution" to my problem.
I'm not sure why it works.

I used the code below to switch to one of the the LexMark printer.
Code:
Set Application.Printer = Application.Printers("DeviceNameOther")
	Docmd. sent report to printer
'Swtich back.
Set Application.Printer = Application.Printers(DeviceNameDefault")
I used this code to show the available printer with their correct path and name.
Code:
Sub ListPrinters()
    Dim prt As Printer
    For Each prt In Printers
        Debug.Print prt.DeviceName
    Next prt
MsgBox "Close this box and enter Control G to see the printer list."
End Sub
I'm not sure why setting the application printer allowed the graphics to print, but it worked.
