Initially, I felt that it may be that the borders of our report were outside the printable area of the page, but even when I reduce the report down or resize it to 50 %, I still get a second page !! We have found this problem to occur on HP printers in particular. It does not happen on our Lexmark T520 in the office. If anyone can offer any pearls of wisdom, they'd be gratefully accepted.

Hi George ..

Found the problem ... When I opened the report as a table, I found that in the Expr field were contained settings from our Lexmark T520 printer in the office. As this is a duplex printer, there was a line specifying duplex=2 in some of my reports. As a result, non-duplex printers, for some reason attempting to uses these hard coded print settings, were printing a second page when duplex=2 was present. I deleted the contents of the Expr field on all these reports.

Thanks for the help ...
