I have no printer on this machine, never having need of one.

However, I occasionally need to "print preview" (Access won't even let
me design a report without three being one installed) and Windows kindly
(!) won't let me do that without there being a printer installed. Is
there anyway to set up a "ghost" printer?

                 found that the only common ingredient was chicken.
