PCL 5 Printers

[Jose Lerebours]

Mark,

I think you are missing the point - PDF (portable) is ideal (I think) 
since user is likely using
a windows, mac or linux based work station which likely has a browser 
that will open the PDF
document natively and provide printing option to a printer of choice.

I cannot think of a better document format to generate a report (other 
than the some times
bloated size, depending on how it is rendered).  They can even email it 
at that point or save it
in a repository and share it via any of the many means now available for 
sharing documents
across enterprise or anyone you have bothered to share your documents with.
