James,
if your a bit handy with HTML and the VFP OLE Browser control then create the form in that then print it. I have an info form where I have to bring in a lot of data from different tables depending on many things. I just gather the data on the fly and build the HTML with TEXT ... ENDTEXT then send the HTML to the IE browser control and print it.
