One other option I forgot is this.

If you have SAS, you can use ODS to create almost any type of file for a 
non-Mainframe environment.

For example, you can create, 
  Excel format
  PDF format
  RTF
And so on

SAS ODS output is written to a PDS/E and then you can ship with the SAS Email 
function where you need it to go.  Then you can print it on most printers.
