this is report's class module:

Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Private fPreview As Boolean
Private Sub Detail_Print(Cancel As Integer, PrintCount As Integer)
End Sub

Private Sub PageHeader_Print(Cancel As Integer, PrintCount As Integer)
    If fPreview Then
        Debug.Print "Preview"
    Else
        Debug.Print "Print"
        fPreview = False
    End If
End Sub

Private Sub Report_Activate()
    fPreview = True
End Sub

so, if you what to log print envent - replace Debug.Print "Print" with your
code which writes to your table
