[GNC] Hard-Copy Report Output

[rsbrux]

Thanks for the advice, but these (custom) reports consist of pie charts and an accompanying legend.
Without the graphics they are useless.
The Html export still included them as of GC 2.19.

Have you tried exporting the report as HTML, opening in a *browser*, and then printing from there? (I see you say it doesn't include 'graphics' 
but which graphics are you referring to? Most reports, rather than charts, don't contain any graphics save for perhaps table borders which render just fine for me in exported reports where used.)

Also consider select-all/copy/paste when viewing a report to a spreadsheet app and printing from it.

Either of those should work. (but I agree, printing from GnuCash should work too) Last I recall, the issue with GnuCash printing has to do with webkit. The details, I forget.

Regards,
Adrien
