Try FileMaker+. It is not a powerful program (being non-relational file
manager), but the report function of the program is beautiful. As far as I
can recall (I haven't seen/used it for a long time), you can define the
size of the paper directly from the program.  Of course, if your need is
more complex, you should consider something like 4th Dimension, but as far
as I can see, FileMaker+ would be fine for your need.

*** Usual disclaimer doesn't apply. I never bothered to pay $100 for the
upgrade from old version (FileMaker) to new one (FileMaker+). I am quite
satisfied with what old one can do, and being a student, $100 is a hefty
price for an upgrade (for a program you can buy for $150 in mail order
store!).
