Have you tried to store the printer settings. this is outside the report?
One can switch the printers (and there settings) using SYS(1037,n)
With this on can create an (external to the frx) set of printer stuff that can be loaded in front of REPORT FORM.
There are some articles out dealing with this. There is some dealing with frx files needed
If you need help, I can try to show how I do this.
