The printable invoice was my first implementation, made purely to get
the information out there.

The fancy invoice was an "update" (sample) to make it look better; in
particular it looks more like "standard" invoices.

I don't know the story of why we got the "easy invoice".

I'm afraid I don't know, either.  I think the best way to move forward
at this point would be a way for the user to specify which report would
be their "default" report.  This way the 'print' button would call into
their chosen report instead of always calling into the "printable
invoice" report.
