Once you export to Excel, then print settings are the preserve of Excel. Sorry I can't be of more help. I've faced these same issues but have yet to find a solution! Just a thought: If the user is going to be printing off a copy of the report, then why not set up a scheduled job to email them a PDF copy (which has been sized correctly) to them, as well as an excel version?

Googling, most of the sites I browse say this is not an available option. Just wondering if you knew of any kind of work-around?
