I don't do much with printer files.... but this sounds like a great
scenario to build an HTML file and then use CSS media types to
differentiate Print from Screen. You could generate PDF's if you wanted,
that would be another way.

table of different layout and of a variable length. Not all tables are
present in each report and the number of rows in any given table is
variable from 1 to x. Some tables also need an image alongside them.

using XHTL and generating PDFs from that or ...
