ask for suggestion about printing

Dear Sir, We are choosing some tools for building applications. Php is a very good tools to build web applications, but we don't know if it can generate printable reports. "Printable reports" mean the report you can print what you see on screen (like winword). We are asking if at here, there are good solutions to generate reports. Simply generate html files and print them are not good solutions to us, becuase you have to remove header / footer of html files, and html files seems not to be used for printing. We know we can use pdflib to generate pdf files, but it is very expensive.... (at least US $1,000) . If there are no other ways, we will be forced to use the old client-server approach again because printing report is very important to us. Many thanks!!!
