Mike, if you wanted to an "easy-ish" way to get a printable report would be to generate an HTML page, you already have all the data so hopefully it would not be to bad to fill in an HTML template rather than the iup screen. Then launch the default web browser to view (it would have the added advantage that you could then close the plugin window to work on entering data into FH.

Thanks Jane, that is an idea, although as you suggest, it won't be easy.

Also, if the users expect Print to send directly to printer, then a browser page still does not do that.
By the time it has opened and the File > Print command used, it might be just as quick to use the Snipping Tool.

The alternative interpretation is that Print saves an image that can be embedded in documents or Email, and again the browser solution does not achieve that.
