I can't do it on my system because my printer's limited to A4 size. Doesn't your special stationery appear on the Page Layout options?

Here is the solution.
With the report open, select Page Setup from the File menu. From the Page Setup window select Print Setup. From here you can select the printer you want to send the report to as well as paper size and orientation, such as Legal Size and Landscape, which is what I used to create this report.
When the report is saved, these settings will be saved within the report.

Spayne,
as well as paper size and orientation, such as Legal Size and Landscape,
So what size are you choosing to get 14-inch paper? Presumably, your printer driver supports custom sizes and your printer is physically capable of printing such large sheets?

Kilroy,
8.5" x 14" paper oriented as landscape
Thanks, Kilroy. I didn't know there was such a thing.

In the US, 8.5x14 paper is called "Legal" because it's widely used for legal documents.
