You can write your own routine which would output a text file in PS format - if you have the time. I've actually done that once, long time ago, to produce some fancy 3D graph (in FPD1.02, I think, and printed it on a funny little Mannesmann MT81 plastic printer via GoScript PS interpreter). Surgeon general's warning: writing postscript may be hazardous to your health. PS is a derivate of Forth - you'll end up programming your report in RPN logic (reverse Polish notation, where you put all the arguments on stack and issue the operator after them). You may look at the postscript driver for FPD, or at least the results it produces, because it's probably unreadable - it's a .plb.

You may be a bit better off writing .rtf files - at least syntax is easier to follow and you can cut/paste headers from any .rtf file you like, or .html, which is even simpler but gives you less control over the final result, and submit the file to Word or your favourite web browser for printing.

I've tried all of the above, and I'll warn you once more - be prepared to invest a lot of time.
