Hi Chris,

Serendipity Library includes a generic call to revPrintText wrapped 
in a handler called "printTable".  This provides headers, footers, 
and pagination for plain text reports.

I am presently debugging a Data Dictionary List printer for SDB that 
incorporates icons instead of text for field headers.  For this 
project I have a one-card stack representing the printed layout.  The 
handlers populate the report text field until it is filled, and then 
create a new card and continue the process until the entire List is 
transferred to the list stack.  At that point the user can view the 
list stack by opening it or send it to the printer via "print this 
stack".  The list stack can then be saved for future reference or 
deleted.
