But --- one solution is to do things like "pretty printing" outside of 
gnucash. Instead of sending the output from gnucash directly to the 
printer, have the output be a file that then goes though a batch editing 
program before finally going to the printer. That gives you complete 
freedom.

The final edit can use a "compositor" program to get really fancy output.

You can respond quicker fixing things like the exact position of the 
name and address << your new box of window envelopes has the window in a 
slightly different position >>
