I head a decade ago problems with DIN A4 Reports, when the default printer was set to Letter, in special in Landscape. I think it will be the other way around (Portrait for reports defined in Letter printed on DIN A4).

And the problem is not for printer preview only. The report is generated on a canvas depending on the active printer and it's settings. I you try to print a label on a DIN A4 page, it will have a lot of free space on the right. A DIN A4 on a DIN A3 will have free space on the right, but will fill the page length. While a DIN A3 printed to DIN A4 will be cutt-off.
There is an option to store the printer settings to the FRX, but in general this creates more havoc then use.

Since this depends on hardware and the frx, you need to have a printer set to a format fitting. A printer with the wrong paper stock could not do this. What you can use is a PDF printer - this can emulate any format.
You need to set the printer before running REPORT FORM.

If one need to force a report to a special printer on site, one might set the report to the printer on the fly. If you need to do this, I can help.

Does it means that a PDF printer is the safest to use as default printer?
