I will tell you how I would do this. It would be easy for me, because I 
don't insist that that the final printed version be printed from within 
gnucash.

I would use the suggestion above, but set the date range to include the 
last transaction before. I would export the resulting report.. I would 
then edit the date of that last transaction to be the start date, change 
its description to "opening balance" and it's amount to zero/blank << it 
is the running balance after this transaction that is the starting 
balance >>

I would then print THAT (or send THAT by electronic means
