Goto your print procedure and go into the report structure source
by pressing the [...]-button. Select All and copy.
Goto your form and press the same [...]-button for the report
and paste your structure.
Under your printbutton just embed:
  Open(Report)
  Print(RPT:Detail)
  Close(Report)
Put in the tooltip of your printbutton that it is a direct print,
w/o print-preview.

Note: You'll get warnings for duplicate field equates.
These can be ignored. If you don't want them then add a incr.
number at the 2nd place of the report's USE(?Field, #) var's.
When you've got a gazillion fields then you can use a different
approach: define: PRN:Record   Like(Pre:Record),Pre(Prn)
In the report structure, do a F&R 'Pre:' -> 'PRN:'
and, before opening the report: PRN:Record = Pre:Record
