However, the person I spoke with at Crystal Reports was sort of nebulous in telling me whether or not my version (6.0) or in fact the current version (7.0) could print RTF text.

CR does not print existing RTF files. It can save a report to RTF. You'll need something like Word or WordImperfect or even WordPad to print.
