It's help error. The Win.ini was used in Win98 and earlier but not under WinNT and later.

Also if the printer info is not stored in the report, how then does one get the report to print duplex when the printer supports that mode without force setting the printer?

Apparently Vfp Team desided that DUPLEX=N setting is printer related not report related. You can add DUPLEX=2 later programmaticaly.

If I remove this and keep the settings in EXPR will those settings work?

Yes, it should work but you will have to remove at least 3 first printer related lines

DRIVER=winspool
DEVICE=Ricoh RX25443
OUTPUT=USB001
