Rich,
I just moved a few of my old dos reports to VFP and all I did was to use the smallest font I could find. Since you are printing using windows I'm not sure there is any other way to do it. I suppose you could set up the generic printer in windows. That would allow you to send you own commands and use the smallest font the printer has.
