Are these actually two separate .FRX's, i.e. One for the first page and another for the subsequent pages?

Foxpro does store some destination info in the .frx file itself. It's usually a good idea to get rid of this info before distributing an application.

You need to open the report definition as a foxpro table, then make some changes to the first record. Usual disclaimer here, make a back-up of the report before you start messing with the frx!

i.e.

USE repname.frx
GO TOP
REPLACE tag WITH "", tag2 WITH ""
BROWSE

Now, open the memo field called Expr, and delete all lines that deal with physical printer stuff, e.g. DRIVER=, DEVICE= and OUTPUT=

Finally, close the table.

Some people write a small program to do this, and run it for all reports before building their application.

This printer specific stuff is added back in every time you open your report in the report writer.
