I added a text box to a report’s page footer which featured the execution team and user id.  No problem there.  I previewed the report and all looked well, but when printing the page footer did not show up.  Page footers do have properties of “PrintOnFirstPage” and “PrintOnLastPage”, but both of these were set to True so this wasn’t my issue.  I threw a line into the footer and previewed again, and in print preview the line did show but the text box was still missing.  Back at the report, I increased the size of the footer so that the box had plenty of room all around it, and what do you know, it then showed on the print preview.  I’m guessing that there may have been some time of overlap or other issue going on, even though I didn’t see any warning in Output.  I tweaked the box size and placement again, and re-sized the footer to the original specs and all was still well.  Still not sure what the issue was but playing around with the text element was the fix in this case.

Happy Reporting!
