You will need to create a Visualforce page for this. That is how I have approached this problem.

Here's an example brutually simple Visualforce page:

<apex:page standardController="Account">
    <apex:pageBlock title="Header Parent Object">
        <apex:outputPanel layout="Block" style="white-space:nowrap;">
        <apex:outputText value="{!Account.Name}"/>
        </apex:outputPanel>
    </apex:pageBlock>
    <apex:pageBlock title="Child Object">
        <apex:pageBlockTable value="{!Account.Contacts}" var="cont">
        <apex:column value="{!cont.FirstName}"/>
        <apex:column value="{!cont.LastName}"/>
        <apex:column value="{!cont.CreatedDate}"/>
        </apex:pageBlockTable>
    </apex:pageBlock>
</apex:page>

The output:

There is more than one way to display this using visualforce, this is just an example.

Have you tried clicking on the Printing View from the report - the button is a bit little mislead, however, you will prompt you to download a version of the report which has a nice header with your report filters at the top.
