    Hi Pirmin,

    Now that AX2012 is using SSRS as the main reporting engine, the behavior you see is because of the rendering behavior of SSRS.

    When a report is first generated in the report viewer, it is using "Soft page-break renderers". Then when you print the report, it will be rendered under "hard page-break renderers".

    You can follow this link for more information on the types of renderers and what they are for. (technet.microsoft.com/.../ee210530.aspx)

    So, in other words, the reports are, by design, to be shown differently in report viewer vs print outs. I don't know of a parameter to change that and I won't bet on one to be available.

    If the display vs. printout check is a must, you will have to export the report to, for example, PDF format first.

    Regards,

    Dom
