>>As a rule of thumb (FWIW), I delete the Printer setting in the FRX record in the first row (if you do this make sure you make a BU copy first! (s)). That seems to eliminate many problems since there is no info for VFP to use to setup the printer. It 'seems' to make VFP handle a printer in a more 'generic' sense.

I would blank out the fields TAG and TAG2. That's where the printer definition is usually stored. If your reports are included in the APP then you must blank the tag fields, otherwise they will get replaced when the user picks the printer (only if you do REPORT FORM ... TO PRINT PROMPT).
