No. I developed the report using a HP printer device and this is the data that is stored in the .frx. However, at one point I noticed that the pdf device was stored there. (Probably caused by testing.) This could explain why the report was always going to the pdf instead of the printer. However, when I changed this back to the HP device it still didn't work properly.

>Recently, however, the report developed a mind of it's own and would go to the pdf device (for example) when the user had selected the print device. The device is selected using the "set printer to name" or "set printer to default" commands.
