>I installed a VFP executable application on a user's machine running Windows 3.1. When it was installed, the user's default Windows printer driver was for a networked LaserJet 4. Subsequent to the VFP program's installation, he switched his Windows default printer to a local HP portable printer. However when he tries to print a report now, VFP keeps on using the LaserJet 4 driver instead of the current default printer driver.

If you're using network printers, always keep in mind that you cannot use LPT1 in anyway. Instead, use PRN. Maybe that's the problem.
