Hi Bob

First rule of GnuCash - please always reply to the mailing list so that 
other readers will:
* Know that your problem is resolved, and not chip in
* Know that your problem is not resolved, and perhaps not chip in
* Learn from your experience


 > Stand up double, but then how do i print it

I run GnuCash on a Windows computer, and printing a report is pretty 
easy.  Once you have sorted out your Report Options and are ready to 
print, do this:

* Main Menu, File, Print Report (shortcut is Ctrl-P)

You can also create a PDF file instead, using:

* Main Menu, File, Export as PDF


I don't have any experience with GnuCash on MAC or Linux, but expect 
that printing is fairly similar.

Hope this helps.

Regards

Geoff
