Hi Arthur,
I was trying to once simillar thing but for ordinary matrix printers
e.g. sending control sequences to matrix printer. Result - no way directly from
frx. What I did manage to do is to send control sequences to printer but prior & after shooting frx.

***something like this changes size of paper to six inches
local aa
aa=getprinter() &&select printer
set printer to name (aa) &&selected (matrix) printer
set printer to
??? CHR(27)+CHR(67)+CHR(0)+CHR(6)
set printer to name (aa)
report form myreport.frx to printer
*** this is just a hint - code is taken out of context

I never tried with laser printer but it might help you fish out something.
Good luck
