I haven't tried printing but had a similar problem displaying the whole 
report page.  The problem was that the type account in the Account Edit 
screen (mutual fund) didn't match the security/currency type in the 
setup (cash).  Also the Grand Total was not displayed on the Account 
list.  Making these match fixed both problems.  This doesn't seem to 
make sense but it fixed my problem using Windows XP.
