Did you know that when you write REPORT FORM xyz TO FILE myFile, the created file has a Postscript format, that can later be sent to the printer?
Also, as Dragan said, the other method is to use a fax printer driver. You don't have to fax actually to an impossible number, but rather do the following:
set printer to name "WinFax" && or "Fax" for Microsoft Fax, or "Zetafax" etc...
REPORT FORM xyz TO FILE "MyFile.TIF"
Now, you have just created a file named Myfile in TIF format. This format is viewed by default in Win98 by Kodak Imaging Preview, and can be printed. Also, it is very compact for documents ( i.e. not images ): they weigh something like 40 to 50k / page.

Cheers,
Jaime

Why do programs stop working correctly as soon as you leave the Fox?
