You're using an HP-delivered version of the HP8000 driver which leaves the FPU in an invalid state after calling teh driver, and VFP smokes on this. Try upgrading the printer driver, upgrading VFP to at least VFP6 SP3, or using the call to _fpreset() after every single call to the printer driver as a workaround, as follows:

DECLARE _fpreset IN MSVCRT20
=_fpreset() && this line must occur after every call that might talk to the printer
