Hi Bruce,

The line is not ignored. You can verify that by adding WAIT WINDOW SET("PRINTER",3) after it.
However VFP9 Report Writer respects printer info stored in the report and sends report to that printer. You've to remove printer related info from the report by opening it the Report Designer, unchecking Printer Environment oh the Report menu and saving report.
Also, macro substitution is totally unnecessary in this case. The Name expression works fine here

SET PRINTER TO NAME (marprinter)
