I consulted several of the articles about the new reporting system in version 9. Apparently one needs to print the report with "report form MyReport object type 0." I am now able to print my report just fine. I have played with the HTML (type 5) output option and discovered that the rotation doesn't happen and one of the lines I use on the form shows up twice as thick as it does on screen and the printer.
My immediate problems are solved. Should I be reporting the distortions in HTML output to someone?
