Single page line printer report printing blank page

I am using Oracle Reports Developer (version 9.0.4.0.21) to generate a report that prints on a pre-printed form on a line printer. Occasionally, if I move fields that are located near the bottom of the page I receive:
REP-1219: 'Margin' has no size -- length or width is zero.

I have found, that by nudging those fields up or down a number of times, the error will go away. My fields are finally located exactly inside their boxes, without the REP-1219, but now I have a new problem. This report should print only one page. Now it also prints a blank page after the first. I have tweaked everything I can think of to no avail. What am I missing?

After all this time the source of the problem turned out to be the printer definition that the invoking web page was using.
