Wish list
I am reprinting a request that I originally made 9/8/2010 and then
resubmitted 5/26/2011.
a) attach a check box to a line item node when the report is sent to the
screen device during preview.
b) set the value of the check box to true when node is generated at preview
c) allow the node check box to be "unchecked" at preview then
d) when the report is printed allow only the pages with a "checked" checkbox
to be printed.
This would essentially replace the print dialog print "page range" with the
converse scenerio, ie. print all pages except those "unchecked". It would
be very useful in situations such as billing where there may be hundreds of
bills, and one wishes to print all but a selected few.
TIA

Thanks for the suggestion.
Note that it is possible to create a custom preview plugin that could
perform this action. You could possibly keep track of the pages checked
and print that list once the print command is given. See the following
article on customizing the previewer.
