Why report food does not show on first page when there is enough room?

Well. I created a report with report head, main body and report foot. I've
set do not show page head and foot. When preview, there is a lot of space on
the first page, actually, the report head is 4 cm, main body is 9 cm and the
report foot is 3 cm. The paper height is 21 cm, upper and lower margin are
both 1.5 cm. I have a table on the main body, it could grow, but not this
time, as this time it has only 7 rows and I set the table height smaller
than the main body height. In the preview, it also shows a lot of space
enough for the report foot. But the report foot still goes to 2nd page.
I cannot figure out what's wrong. This is the first time I use report head
and foot. I used to just use pager head and foot.

Thanks for your reply.
 
You should check your margins, color each section background a bit different
and print the report. See if this matches your expectations.

Thank! using your method, I find this may be because I only set "do not show
page head and foot" on the [report properties]. It seems I need set this on
page head or foot property as well. Now the report foot shown on first page,
but strange things are as indicated my new post "Many new baby's questions".
The problem is those controls on report foot become very large and unable to
control the size.
What's the problem could be?

Sounds like a printer driver issue. Try different fonts or a different
printer.

I've tried different fonts, but the results are the same.
I'll try different printer late.
Thank you!
