If you make the report using Lx300 and choice a printer-font like "Roman 20cpi" and print this report in HP 840, VFP "write" a lot of "*****" in my paper...

Courier is a 'block' type font you could use on your vfp report.

OR.....

Use FoxPro for DOS to create your report and use vfp to print it.
Don't convert the report to VFP. You may want to write protect the frx and frt files to prevent someone else from converting it.
I think the tables it needs to read will need to be created in FoxPro for DOS, but I am not sure.

By the way you English is good.
Hasta luego
