1.
PrinterOptions.Printer returns always 'Default', but I need the name of the
Printer. Even when I change the printer in Print Dialog, it would return
'Default' again.
I need a printer log, it is important to know which printer exact has
printed the report.

2.
I try to create a variable on the top of the script, to give it a value and
then to access it from Delphi:

FastReport:
[B]var[/B]
PrintLog:string;
PrintLog := 'test';

Delphi: 
P:=frxReport1.Script.Variables ['PrintLog'];
  if not VarIsNull(p) then
 showmessage(Vartostr(P));

It returns always null!

in 2.53 was possible to access the variable in this way: 
P:=frVariables['PrintLog'];
And now?

    Use TfrxReport.OnPrintReport event. The name of the currently selected printer is in frxPrinters.Printer.Name.

    You tried Report.Script. My suggestion is about Report.Script1.

    Thanks, that returns really the value. But what is Script1? Why have we 2 Objects : Script and Script1 and what's the difference?

    Report.Script1 is for internal script; it is cleared and filled with compiled script each time before running a report. Report.Script is for external purposes such as adding variables, functions etc. Maybe I will join these two scripts in the future releases.
