If you have command "printer type" within your code and you 
do not want to execute it for all instances of your report,
then by all means, do make it a conditional statement.

I hope you are setting your printer target and type only once
and not every time you run through a record.  

Why set this up within the printing process instead of within
the command line?  

Are you a *nix or windows base shop?
