If I do the printjob on one PC, with the "to file" clause of the
REPORT command, and then use it on another PC, which precautions
do I have to take?
Do I need to have the same printer, same driver and same
print-settings on both PC's, or is there a walkaround to have it
working without all these things set?

When you print to file, all the printer settings are included in the
file. That includes the fonts, papersize, papertray, orientation, etc.

So you would only need a printerdriver on the PC that creates the
printfile. On the destination PC, all you do is copy the file to the
printerport.

To be absolutely sure you need to use the same driver at both sites.
Sometimes you can find a common driver for two different models, most
laser printers for instance support the HP PCL print stream so if you
use a generic HP driver such as the LaserJet 4 or 5 then it will work
on just about any laser printer.

Ink jets tend not to be compatible so you need to be a bit more
carefull or even create a PDF file instead.
