Direct printing

Hi there,
I know there has been a lot of discussions and irritations that RS does not
offer direct printing, instead the user has to export to pdf(or another
format) and then open that and print the report from there, but I would like
to know if it something that Microsoft is working on and if so when it may be
available.
Surely with the amount of interest shown in the printing it will be soon?
ThanksCurrently we are looking at including client side printing in the next
version of SQL. We have heard the cries of pain and are also looking at the
possibility of including it our next service pack. As of this time though we
have made no formal announcement on what will or won't be included in the
next SP.

reports and doing great things but figured when someone wants to view it they
surely wouldn't want to print and therefor left that part out . . . . . and
now after all this time still haven't included it? Ok, just wanted to make
sure.
Come on guys your product kicks @.ss, please can we have a way of printing
our reports without having to export them, open them and then print them.
Hopefully someone will come up with a reletively easy way to print soon.
PLEEEEEEASE!!
