Just an FYI to anyone looking to solve this problem.

1. REPORT FORM cReport PROMPT statement will cause a "Printer not ready" error. There is a workaround to this as follows:

cPrinter = getprinter()
REPORT FORM cReport NAME (cPrinter)  *-- workaround
*REPORT FORM cReport PROMPT *-- bug

2. If you are still using SET PRINTER / ? "Data" reporting, there is no workaround for this because the SET PRINTER ON command will always generate the "Printer not ready" error, even when PRINTSTATUS() returns a .T.

We are looking at converting the item #2 code to use REPORT FORM so that we don't have to address the issue using the hotfix. I would like to emphasize that this is broken in version 8 but fixed in version 9 sp1 of foxpro.
