>I have inherited an application written in VFP6. A Report has been designed as a freight label and needs to be printed on a thermal printer currently connected to a serial port. The application uses 'SET PRINTER NAME TO xPrinter', but for some reason does not print to the serial printer, but instead still prints to the LTP printer connected to the machine.

Hi Mike,

Try to clear printer related info from the report. Open your report as a table and blank out TAG and TAG2 fields in the first record. Also remove following printer related lines from EXPR field.
DRIVER=
DEVICE=
OUTPUT=
In VFP8 you can just uncheck 'Printer Environment' on Report menu and save report.
