Problem with report page footer

I have a grouped report with group and page footers. For
some reason, the page footer section is showing up at the
very bottom of the report (where it should), but the
bottom of the report is so far away from the rest of the
report that it looks like the report is on legal sized
paper. Then the footer won't print on the actual printed
report. I've done everything I can think of except
remove the footer. When I tested removing the footer,
the page went back to normal size. Help.
