Printing GnuCash Reports

The print functionality of the open source accounting software GnuCash does not offer many features. It is especially annoying to have to print your accounts in portrait orientation. Most lines are broken like this, what yields to unreadable reports.

Using additional software, it is possible to print your accounts in landscape orientation:

• Export the reports as HTML.
• Convert them to text with html2text and print the resulting data with enscript or a2ps:

        html2text -width 180 report.html | enscript -f Courier7 -r
