Report pages in "report preview" different with "browser print preview"

Hello to you,
I'm using Stimulsoft Report JS version 2020.2.3
I'm using Mozilla Firefox as default browser.
The problem is : Report pages in "report preview" different with "browser print preview"
I'd captured the screen, please read from screenshot_1, 2, 3 and 4.
I'm using sample report as case testing.

Note : Actually I'd asked same question last year (2019) but the team said "The report had its own margin" and "The browser also had its own margin".
They said this causing because the margin in report is not same with the browser margin. I'd told them, please show me how to makes it same, so I got the same result in preview and in printed paper. They cannot solved it.
The real problem maybe bugs, bugs in calculated the row growth some items, so its pushing down to next row causing growth till the next page.

Please help dan thanks in advance.
Regards,
Steven

It is not our limitation. The web browser does not allow to set any printer settings from the code.

Thank you.

Hello...
I think the bugs is at the row grow calculation.
Let said, logically if address filled with 50 character of text, then I set it to narrower as just fit 5 character in a row, so the following should be displayed in next row (because the row grow).
You must tried to "print preview on the screen" and compared with "printed on paper"
in "print preview on the screen" you may got 5 pages (It seems it's right. only 5 pages) but when you printed on the paper it could becomes 10 pages because some data (rows) should be printed in page1, it printed on page2. That is the problem. So I aasume the bugs is when row grow the calculation still not fit. It's not a matter of the "browser margin" and the "printer margin".

Hello. Facing the same issue for at least 9 months. Standard print was not solved till now. I am using the PrintToPDF option, which is a workaround.
