VFP reports give problems if they are designed for one printer, and printed on another one. You should clear the corresponding fields in the report; the easiest way to do this is to get the XDIR download, from the downloads section.
To select a printer, use the getprinter() function. The steps are more or less like this (quoted from my unreliable memory!):
local lcPrinter
lcPrinter = GetPrinter()
if not empty(lcPrinter)
set printer to &lcPrinter
report form ...
endif
