Did you try to run the report "as is" from VFP9 ?
In similar situations I keep the form in DOS format in the application VFP version.

It is not allowing us to control the number of lines per inch that the printer uses. In DOS days you could send a control sequence to the printer to control that or you could specify that in the report layout. There doesn’t seem to be a way in VFP to do that.
