Given the oft-noted behaviors of web browsers when printing, how do you
deal with the following problems?:
1) If the report is in a wide format, such as classic 132-column reports,
the browser will simply drop the right side (although IE7 did add some
shrink-to-fit logic).
2) You have no control over pagination, meaning you can not put column
headers at the top of page 2, for instance, because you don't know where
the top of page 2 is.
3) You have not explicit control over font size. Do you use CSS for this?
In general, my perception is that HTML is not a satisfactory way to
deliver reports.
