>I have a report that works fine when I output directly to the printer. However, when I output to a file, then try to print the file, i get about 1 1/2 pages of data per sheet of paper. So, Page 2 starts about 2/3's of the way down the first sheet, and continues on the second sheet. Page 3 and the beginning of Page 4 are printed on the second sheet.

If you have the option of opening the report in the old FoxPro/DOS, I believe this version will be used. In it, the lines and columns are integers - much easier to control.

Another option is to create a separate report for text-only, for example with my download for text reports - or simply concatenating a string and writing it with FileToStr().
