The first page of an MS Access report is printed normally, while a later page is reduced to about one-quarter size in the upper-left corner, after 17.08.2026 updates.

    Hi,

    Last night, Microsoft has released a fix for this in the Current Channel. Details are in our AFo article.

    Hi Milan Bozic

    Could you please confirm your Access version and build number? You can find this under File > Account > About Access.

    Based on my research, I found a few other users experiencing similar printing issues in Access (Version 2607, Build 16.0.20228.20188, and Version 2608, Build 16.0.20326.20072), where the first page prints normally but subsequent pages are reduced in size and appear in the upper-left corner.

    Microsoft Access Report – 3rd Page Prints at 1/4 Size Only When Printing Full Report - Microsoft Q&A 

    Version 2607 not working with Microsoft Access to print - Microsoft Q&A 

    As a temporary workaround, you may consider rolling back Microsoft 365 Apps to an earlier build to see if this resolves the issue. You can follow the steps in this Microsoft article: How to revert to an earlier version of Office | Microsoft Support 

    Since similar behavior has been observed by multiple users, I recommend contacting Microsoft Support for further investigation. 

    You can contact Microsoft support by going to Microsoft Contact Us > Type "Support" and click Get Help > Click Sign in to contact Support at the bottom of the page. > Under products and Services, select Microsoft 365 and Office Option > Under category, select technical Support > Chat with a support agent in your web browser.   

    I hope this information helps.
