FRX saving COLOR=n when 'not saving printer info'

The Tools | Options | reports | "save printer info" setting does not appear to deal with the COLOR=n setting that is getting stored in the FRX. I have turned off the "save printer info" setting in my dev environment. With my default printer set to a B&W printer, when i browse the EXPR field in the FRX, i get the following:
ORIENTATION=0
PAPERSIZE=1
SCALE=100
ASCII=100
COPIES=1
DEFAULTSOURCE=7
PRINTQUALITY=600
COLOR=1
DUPLEX=1
YRESOLUTION=600
TTOPTION=3
COLLATE=1
The TAG and TAG2 fields remain blank.

When i change my default printer to a color printer and i modify the report, the color line in the EXPR field changes to COLOR=2. The problem is that when developers whose default printer is a black and white printer modify a report, they will inadvertantly cause those users who are printing to a color printer to print in B&W. Kinda defeats the purpose of the "dont save printer info" setting.

Was hoping to retire a project hook that cleared the various EXPR, TAG, and TAG2 settings and use this new "dont save settings" feature in VFP8.

Am i missing something?
