Problem creating PDF files if Bullzip not selected as defaul

I was asked to provide a PDF ouput file instead of printing a report from a small application that I wrote and Bullzip worked for me using Win 2000
I installed it on one site with no problem but a second site it didnt quite work .
After a bit of investigation I found that by make bullzip the default printer the PDF file was created as usual. However if Bullzip was not the default printer the PDF file wasnt created. I feel that there could a subtle Windows 2k printer configuration issue.

the settings file that the application generates is:

[PDF Printer]
afterprintprogram=
author=
creationdate=
creator=
keylength=128
keywords=
mergefile=
mergeposition=bottom
moddate=
output=c:\del\work\1390115331.pdf
ownerpassword=
permissions=
settingsprogram=
showpdf=no
subject=
superimpose=
target=
title=
userpassword=
watermarkrotation=c2c
watermarksize=6
watermarktext=
watermarktransparency=85
confirmoverwrite=no
showsaveas=nofile
showsettings=never

The application was written in Visual Foxpro
any clues?

Thanks
Roger
