Hi @siyamalan,

I think this is not a bug, since Senaite uses Senaite Impress for analyses report generation, printing options such as the output format are no longer available.

Maybe someone else can give a better answer…

Anyway, I am closing this thread since it is reported as an issue in the issue tracker (https://github.com/senaite/senaite.lims/issues/101). Further discussion shall take place there.

You can create a new thread in case you want to start a discussion whether other printing options should be included as a new functionality.

Thanks for your contribution.
