pagesize of report is much larger than expected when printed

I created a report with RS in VS.NEt and set the width and height to 8.5in by 11in from the property window. When I designed it , everything fit on one page nice and neat.

When printed it prints on two pages and the font size comes out much larger than expected. The whole document seems to have been blown up bigger and the right side of the document has been cut off. Why is this Do I need to configure vs.net to print

Am I missing some setting somewhere

Other documents print out fine on this printer, so it is not the printer.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you

this seems small but if I can't get the report to print out right then..........

    I am facing same problem,

    PDF is better and prints exactly but it is not possible in real life to export to PDF everytime and then printing.

    There must be some way to print perfectly directly from reportviewer form.

    Any one please help...

    If the page size is set to 8.5 by 11 you have to make sure that your margins are subtracted out of that when you set the body size or your design area or it will spill over to the next page. If I am creating something that will go onto 8.5 by 11 w/ .5 margins on each size, I usually keep the report at 7.45 or so.

    I have allowed for the margins when i set the body size.

    The strange thing is a 10pt font size in RS VS.NET is not the same as a 10pt font size anywhere else. Everything just seems (is) be bigger.

    ok, kind of figured it out. the print out right from VS.net is really big

    When i save as a pdf and then print from acrobat reader it is a bit smaller but much better to work with.
