The report is setup to print on Letter, and should print to 2 pages. This is how the report is rendered in the control. I'm not sure what its doing at print time, but I don't get 2 pages. Also, sometimes I see the report viewer controls in the printout, sometimes I don't.

There is an abundance for VB and new My.Settings thing but can't find any about how to do it with the .NET Framework.
