It has something to do with the fact that you've told filePro to use the
"PFPRT" (I assume you mean "FP2RTF"?) printing, whether you meant to do so
or not.  The setting of one printer has no effect on any other printer
settings.

What is you fp/lib/config file, and what are the PF* environment variables
currently set?
