[GNC] Frustrated at invoice options

[Adrien Monteleone]

I think it has to do with how you run the Invoice Report.

Unfortunately, it should work the same regardless of how you get there, 
but it does not. (there are several 'entry points' to getting a printed 
invoice, and they don't all work the same)

There is at least one if not two other recent threads regarding invoice 
default stylesheets and the issue is the same.

The only sure fire way I know is to create a Saved Report with the 
desired options/stylesheet and run that each time you want a printable 
invoice. But this means you then have to select the customer/invoice 
number. You can't click the invoice from other parts of the UI and get 
this Saved customization to automatically apply, or even after the fact.

Regards,
Adrien
