The issue has been identified and logged under Problem Report ID ADAPT01383393.

This issue is scheduled to be addressed in Crystal Reports 2008 SP2 FP8, or SP3 FP1, or SP4.

Update: This has been resolved for paper sizes where length is the same as but not less than width. However the issue still occurs when length is less than width (Example: label printer 4 inches wide by 2 inches high), therefore a new Adapt - ADAPT01083203 was raised.
