I don't really understand this kind of complaint. If you organize a
hierarchy of intelligent self-printing views, printing is a snap, as I've
said before:

It is reasonable to ask for a "report writer" module; that's a FAQ, so check
the archives. But I find that once you actually understand the printing
architecture, and start thinking in terms of views and subviews, nibs, and
so forth, printing becomes object-oriented and all the pieces of the view
effectively print themselves. m.
