Issue resolved -
A Microsoft Project 2010 report enables you to select and print a specific data range. For example, you can print all tasks, resources, assignments or all time scaled dates.
When you try to print a specific data range in a report in Project 2010, the whole data range is printed.
Posting this for others if they ever need the answer.
Thanks for your help.
