Remarks

When a report starts, the PageSettings properties are used to set the initial values of the Document.Printer property.  PageSettings properties that are set to Default get their values from the selected Printer. To print with a local printer, specify the printer name your Control Panel. To print from a network printer, specify the server name then the printer name that is hosted on the server.
