-## Saving Printer Settings with a Form or Report

+## Save printer settings with a form or report
 
+Whether a form or report uses the settings of the default application printer (the settings managed with the **Application** object's **Printer** object) is determined by whether the form or report has previously saved printer settings. Printer settings for a form or report can be saved two ways:
 
-- A user can save printer settings by opening the form or report in any view, and using the  **Print** or **Page Setup** dialog boxes to change the settings for the form or report.
+- A user can save printer settings by opening the form or report in any view, and using the **Print** or **Page Setup** dialog boxes to change the settings for the form or report.
 
-- You can make changes to the  **Printer** object of a form or report in code, and those changes will be saved with the form or report if you use the **[Save](../../../api/Access.DoCmd.Save.md)** method before closing the form or report, or specify **acSaveYes** for the _Save_ argument when using the **[Close](../../../api/Access.DoCmd.Close.md)** method to close the form or report.

-
- **Note**  When printer settings are saved with a form or report, Access creates a new data structure for the form or report to contain the saved settings. Initially, this new data structure contains a copy of all of the settings of the default printer. Any settings the user or your code overrides are saved with the data structure. Access does not maintain any sort of inheritance between settings of the default printer and the settings saved with a form or report. If you change settings of the default printer after saving settings for a form or report, the settings that were originally saved will remain in effect.

 By default, Access formats each row of a report's detail section with the same background color. When printing a report, shading every other line of the detail section can make it much easier to read. You can use the **[AlternateBackColor](../../../api/Access.Section.AlternateBackColor.md)** property to specify a color to be displayed or printed on every other line in the detail section when viewing or printing a report.
 
 The following example illustrates how to display light gray bars on every other line of the report's detail section when it is printed.
