Sounds like a problem with the font metrics, or the printer driver.
Try a different printer driver. If that solves the problem, get an updated
driver from the manufacturer of your printer. (The occasion we saw this was
with an HP Laser, latest driver, but going back to an older driver solved
the problm.)
If that does not solve the problem, try the report with the Arial font.

What could be the cause of huge fonts (True Type Verdana) in an Access
2003 report the first time that it's opened? This only happens when the
report is initially opened. If the report is closed and opened again, it
displays and prints fine. When the database is closed and reopened, the
problem reappears. A single page report prints out on 8+ pages. The report
doesn't use conditional formatting nor smart tags nor anything 'fancy'.
