Printer driver causing problems

Please Help!!
I have written a database and everytime I go to print one of the reports and then go back to working with the database it starts to go all haywire and produce Visual Basic runtime errors when I try to run querys and will also stop showing certain forms and things of that nature. I'm reasonably sure it's the printer driver thats causing it because everything works fine up until I print a report. The printer I have is a Hewlett Packard 640c and have tried using 690c and similar drivers to see if it will rectify the problem, they do seem to work a bit better but still have some problems. The drivers for it are the current ones so I searched Hewlett Packards site to whether they had any backdated ones available there but I couldn't find any. Any help anyone could provide on this problem I would be most appreciative for. Thanks in advance.
 
What version of Access are you using? If it's A2k, there is a patch(service release) for printer related issues. Most notably the issue of not retaining printer settings but this problem may be related.
 
Thanks for the help Jerry, I'm chasing that patch up now. Hopefully it will fix it.
