How to tick "Print Dialog" for reports run from other windows

If you run a report from the Operations menu of another window, certain RepSpec values are set in HAL. For example, from an Item record, when you run Item Status, RepSpec.f1 is set to the item code.


On report specification windows, there is a Print Dialog checkbox, which is not ticked by default. Is there a way to tick this using HAL, so that printing a report such as Item Status asks which printer to print to?
