If the printers your users have are very different from the one you are using the printer-specific information in the reports could cause problems. That's the purporse for the deletions. However, you should delete only the printer-specific information. That means everything in Tag1 and Tag2, but the Expr field is a different story. Here's one I have:

DRIVER=winspool
DEVICE=\\NetworkPrinterNameHere
OUTPUT=\\NDPS01
ORIENTATION=0
PAPERSIZE=9
COPIES=1
DEFAULTSOURCE=1
PRINTQUALITY=600
COLOR=1
YRESOLUTION=600
TTOPTION=2

You would probably want to keep the Orientation, Papersize, and Copies lines. You can find project hook routines to clear this stuff when you build your project.
