We recently moved domain management stuff ABOVE contact information, since
that's used most often by resellers.  The initial intent of the resellers
interface was to create and manage product portfolios (not necessarily print
out invoices).  Note that even if we did remove all that information, you're
not guaranteed to have it all fit on one screen (even at high resolutions) -
there's just too much data to reasonably "squeeze" into one spot.

However - making a printer friendly form is definitely an open that is well
worth exploring.  Can you give an indication of what information you do, and
do not require?

Other resellers - can you provide feedback on usefulness of this?  What you
would like to see (or not necessarily see)?
