You may want to put this code into the OnEnter of the Title Band of the report.

Also you may want to test the code without the use of SET PRINTER: make the printer the default, and just execute the code and call the report.

You may want to make sure that the printer you are sending the codes to understands the codes you are sending. (ex You may be sending HP4 codes to an HP2 printer)
