Possible BUG: SP2 Printing Linked Reports in Report Manager

Hello,
I may have discovered a possible bug with the new SP2 Client Printing
capabilities.
To reproduce:
1) Create a report with margins of 0.3in top, left, bottom and right, and
page size of 8.5 x 11 (standard US letter size)
2) Deploy the report to Report Manager
3) Confirm that client printing respects margins set in report. Click on
the print button, click on Print Preview, click on Margins, you should now
see 0.3in margins all around
4) Create a linked report by going to Properties and clicking Create Link
Report button.
5) Click on the print button, click on Print Preview, click on Margins, you
should now see 0.5in margins all around, instead of 0.3in. This does not
occur while exporting linked report to PDF format.
I confirmed this behaviour numerous times, and it's not only with margin but
also with page-layout. Is there a work-around?
Many thanks,
EdgarThe work around is to call SetProperties for the linked report, setting the
PageHeight, PageWidth, TopMargin, BottomMargin, LeftMargin and RightMargin
to the values you wish. All values should be expressed in mm.

properties don't seem to be set as they should be in a linked report.
I'm presuming "call SetProperties" is done via code - is there a work
around or way of doing this via Report Manager to fix this problem?
I'm not using any code with my reports, just URL access.
Thanks
