So I selected the paper size as US Standard Fanfold 14 7/8 x 11in. But one line of the report is getting printed in two lines though it is a 132 column printer. What else I need to do.

Yashodhan,
Instead of sending to printer at test time send to a text file to check what it prints. Probably one field is narrower than its wide. Try to identify if that's the case in preview mode. Also you might try (with a backup copy) blanking out expr,tag,tag2 fields in report first record :

_ASCIICOLS=132
use myreport.frx
blank fields expr,tag,tag2
use
report form myReport to file test.txt ASCII
modi comm test.txt
