I have attached the field titles to the vertical guildlines with their little red corner marks. The report looks aligned in the preview but when printed one group row is out by approximately one character. All other columns are in line. How is this one group row aligned with the columns?

What's different about this one column? Does it have it's right side butted up to the right hand side of the page? If so, go into File and Page Setup and decrease the right hand margin.
The interpretation of the right hand margin between the screen and printer is different.

Thank you Naith,
There are 7 columns of information and I have running totals into 3 groups, Name, Dept, and Grand Total. Every field is right aligned and attached to the vertical line on the right. All looks aligned in the preview. When printed every column of information lines up and the Dept row with the information in the column is aligned, however the 2 rows with Name total and Grand Total information are not column aligned. The figures in those rows are out by 1 character to the right of the column alignment. Thank you

Thank you Naith,
I changed the font to Courier and reattached the fields to the vertical alignment lines. All looked straight in the preview, however after printing the report had the same mis alignment in the same fields as above.

Looks like you have some shenanigans with your printer drivers. Try printing from a different printing to confirm. Then you might want to speak to Crystal about known issues with the driver you're using.
Prior to all this, however, align your problem fields on both sides to a left AND right margin, and check the print impact.
