The printer path that is specified will be where the report is printed unless you use the PROMPT clause with REPORT FORM. So, you probably want to delete it along with some of the other stuff. It would be fine to just leave orientation and remove the rest. Make sure you also clear the memo fields TAG and TAG2. Note that each time you save a report from the Report Designer, you will need to make these changes. It is easiest to write a little program to do it for you.

Simple example:

USE Customer.FRX
REPLACE Expr WITH "ORIENTATION=1", Tag WITH "", Tag2 WITH ""
USE

You get the idea.
