I dont think so, This is known problem in VFP reporting.
There are medicines for that.
First, You can clear up printer setting entrys from your frx's by opening them as a tables (they are ordinary VFP tables) and then compile application.
In that case printing will always go to default printer.
Second, Good idea is to always issue
set printer to name &MyDriver (be carefull of spaces within the name)
(retrieved&saved window's drivers names)
prior to printing so you can also 'smuggle'
some escape codes to desired printer.
I hope this will help you resolve your problem
Regards
