Hi,

I have a very small report, which only contains 3 columns and 4 rows, I have
set up the report property to Potrait with a margin of 1 in for each side.
when I view the report, everything is fine, but I print the report, it always
print out an empty page after the report. No matter how I play with the
margin of the report and my printer, it prints to me an empty page. I am
using SSRS 2005 with sp1.

If you set 1 inch margins for each side, then the report area itself
can only be 6.5 inches.

When you are in layout mode, the ruler at the top should be utilized.
The report area + left + right margins can only be 8.5 for portrait.
My guess is that your report area is too large and you are crossing
over the 8.5 threshold. This causes the blank space on the right to
page down to a new page (even if you cross that 8.5 value by .0001
inches).

This won't appear in html due to the way it renders. You can export to
pdf to do testing instead of printing every time. Pdf should act
similar to your printing.
