Mike,

My work on using HTML for reports and statements is of an R&D nature, and 
preliminary.  Maybe you're running into the same problem I did, where the 
browser was automatically inserting page headings and footers into the page 
prior to printing.  I wish there were some way to override that behavior 
through JavaScript, but the only solution I've been able to come up with is to 
provide users with explicit instructions to use the browser print dialog to 
manually remove headers and footers from the output.

Or, maybe browser compatibility, or printer compatibility is coming into play.

If the printing problems could be worked out with reliability, it seems that 
HTML would be a better alternative than PDF for some things.

Nathan.
