  We get this quite often.
     
  Declaring a Report in your existing Setup section will solve the problem, even 
  if it only consists of PRINTER-TYPE=HPLASERJET and LAYOUT=HP-LAND.
     
  John's solution is the neatest I've seen though.  We'll try that from now on.

Try naming your declare sections as follows:
     
Declare-Printer default-hp
     
Declare-Layout default
     
And then in the body of the program have the following command before any 
printing is done:
     
use-printer-type hp
