>I wish I didn't have to...but my default printer is an older Roland printer and the users have nicer printers...the Expr field have a line YRESOLUTION=300. Why would we want a 600 dpi printer printing at 300 dpi? I also can't duplex on my printer, so I can't default a report to duplex without hacking the FRX.

Windows really doesn't care if you actually HAVE the printer when you install a print-driver. If your clients are using an HP 4+, install the driver on your printer control panel. Before working on their reports, switch YOUR default printer to the HP4+, and the reports will 'default' to that mode. The downside, of course, is that you can't test the printouts ON the printer, only through Preview.
