I use reportlab. Has some learning curve, but its worth it. It has
tables support. Look at Platypus.
I even prefer it upon Crystal Reports, which makes the easy things easy
and the complicated more complicated, as most graphical tools do.
There are CSS directives for inserting page breaks and doing other
printer-oriented things. Your app could provide a "printable version"
of a report which removes navigation and makes use of these
directives.
You might also be able to use a tool to render the HTML to PDF on the
server, giving you predictable results (with no browser
inconsistencies). There's things like a standadalone Mozilla setup for
this, and tools no doubt -- I can't recommend anything (or even give
good pointers), but I'd be interested in anyone else's experiences.
