Hi Greg,

I can confirm your mail got to the list just fine. If you didn't get a reply probably means no one 
has a good solution for you. :(

However, I'll give it a stab:

There is indeed no way (yet) to set a saved report as the default report for printing. So you will 
always have to do some manual steps.

What I sometimes do is to keep one such configured report open all the time in a tab. And 
when I need to print an invoice the only change left to do is to change the invoice id in the 
report options.

It still means having to change the report options, but it saves me from opening an invoice first. 
Depending on your workflow that might be slightly better or just as cumbersome...

If you are willing to dig into scheme your other option is to write a custom report based on the 
report you usually use. The only real change you'd need to make is to set a different default 
option for the job details. More info on creating custom reports can be found here:
