>Hello all,
>
>We have a problem when my users try to print a report using their local printers (dot-matrix Epson). They have their own Purchase Order form to insert into the printers. The form is inserted in landscape format (which is different from the normal format, portrait, that we use). In the design mode, I have to set up the report page as portrait. When they print, the form right side is cut off to 8" (instead of 11"). It looks like there is no way I can set up my report width to 11. I even had to add a dummy Epson printer to my PC to select it as a default printer in my design mode, so that I can set the size to 'user-defined size' so I can change the width to 11, but it was not saved after I saved my report (The width size changed back to 8).

My guess is that you would need to have two copies of the report. One in portrait and one in landscape. The report orientation is set in the report designer.
