Why not go paperless and email the reports to an email repository? We email most of our reports now to the various individuals that need them. When they receive them they can squirrel them away in their little cubby holes or delete them. Most don't delete them. The report name is on the subject line so they know where to put it. You could do the same thing only send the email to one mail account that has rules set up to categorize by the subject line. If you send the reports through a text to pdf converter before they are sent they are always printable.
