These topics deal with the Report Builder and should be helpful to you.
It's probably best to start with "How to print a report":

How to...

  create and store report printing settings for later use
  display the contents of a field in a printed report
  include a field on each page of a printed report
  preview a printed report
  print a report
  specify what cards to include in a printed report
