AS/400 printing, iSeries, Microsoft Access

The printer is attached to the PC.

The display is associated to the printer session I setup. Which is the printer sitting next to the PC.

I am using Windows XP on this system, all my other WIndows XP machines do not have this problem.

Here we have no personnel printers and most of our customer base is that way too.
There are a few with print sessions but I don’t recall anyone using this setup option.
I do like that you can setup the print session to start and end when their session does.
We’ve always copied the short cut for the print session into the startup folder to make this happen.

I would probably remove iSeries Access then install it again from the server.
You will not lose your settings.
