I probably have similar situation: VFP system generates multiple reports which should be printed in different locations. Therefore I use
REPORT FORM ... TO FILE ...
applying some name conventions indicating file destination. Then I use COPY FILE command to move files to different printers. Surely, it should be tested carefully for each particular printer. IMHO, report frx file (and corresponding print file) carries page layout, so you shouldn't worry about this.
