From: GinCan on 17 Mar 2010 00:17 Hi Dirk, almost a year ago I reported that images I could see in report preview would actually be totally blank when printed. At the time I thought it might be due to differences between Access 2007 (with image control source property) and previous versions that did not have that property. You kindly assisted me confirming at least that the code I was using was correct and asked me to let you know if I eventually figured out the problem. I have recently revisited the database and finally discovered that the non printing issue was not due to Access at all but to printer settings. The printer (a Brother Multifunction) at the PC I was using was set for "Fast Normal" instead of "Normal" and that caused the graphics not to print. I had not realized this at the time because the difference in text print quality between the two modes is barely visible and it never occured to me that the Fast mode would prevent graphics printing instead of simply lower quality prints. Anyway thank you again.
