Hi, Celeste.
The best solution that I can suggest is to convert your report to a PDF format. You can take a look at FOP to convert into this format. This PDF format would allow your client not only to print reports but to save it as well into their disk drives.
You mentioned that you would opt a format other than PDF but this is the best solution that I've known so far.
thanks,
cris
