Try to remove all printer-specific information from your reports:
1. Open the report as a table with "USE MyReport.lbx"
2. Go to the first record
3. Delete the contents of the TAG and TAG2 fields.
REPLACE Tag WITH "", Tag2 WITH ""
4. Remove following driver related lines from EXPR field
DRIVER=
DEVICE=
OUTPUT=
--sb--
