Peter,
Mesa2 is pretty versatile. I use it all the time. The various printing options are stored with
each workbook. If you set those options up for each report as a separate workbook, I
think you will get close, if not fully there. Also, Mesa has a scripting language with "Print"
as one of the functions.
