Regards

     Install the new version of Lazarus 1.8 for windows and when you
try to install the component fortesreport tell me: invalid identifier
in the line that you attach in the image

   I appreciate any suggestions to solve the problem. I use windows 10
64bit.

Look at the package files and see if the "Windows" unit is included ?

The OpenPrinter is a windows API which means it is no longer cross
platform.

if that shows the WINDOWS unit is not being placed in the USES list
then
open the Printer unit and see if that call has been moved into local
space(interface)?

Last resort would be to contact the author of that package and have
them properly
access the TPrinter class so to make it cross platform?

@everjdelgadoch

Install fortes4lazarus with OPM, I fixed the issue there. If using OPM
is not an option, download attached zip, extract rlprinters.pas,
overwrite the original one and you're good to go.
