How to keep paper size when deploying the .rpt?

I am customizing reports for a new accounts receivable system. It uses the .rpt. I can set a report to use legal size, but when the new system runs the report, it defaults to the default paper size of the default printer. How can I tell the report to use only legal size (8 1/2 x 11). I'm using Crystal Reports 10. Right now the only way is to manually set the default size to legal.

Thanks

We just discovered that the vendor's product won't let the reports be printed as they are setup. Their recommendation was to have the user change the printer paper default to legal and then change it back to letter after the user is finished. This is not an option for a network printer, so I guess, we're going to have to setup another printer definition for this printer and set it to be for legal size only!! Thanks to anyone who took the time to look at this posting.
