Hi, we're having problems with the printed output of the report. When viewing it through the website, the preview shows the correct format. when we print it, the rest of the records that are part of the body get printed unto the next page.

Viewing and printing can be disconnected and different printers will do different things.  In the report design, look at the Page Setup. 
- If either "No Printer (optimize for screen display)" or "Disocciate Formatting Page Size and Printer Paper Size" is checked, then the report doesn't take into account how a default printer would display the page.
- If neither of those are checked and the default printer is not the same model as the printer you're actually printing to, that can cause differences in the print appearance.
 
- On the screen, the report is rendered as HTML which can have a slightly different format than either the PDF or ActiveX print controls use.  One way around this is to use the ActiveX viewer, which automatically uses the ActiveX print control - with this combination the view and the print will match up.
