Yeah, when you have to start asking "how wide can a report be?" it's a
strong indication that you should probably be asking "will the user(s)
accept something other than a printed report?"

Most users I know of would actually prefer NOT to get a printed report.

The shop where I work is probably toward the old-school end of the
technology scale, and even here we hardly ever create any new printed
reports. Most new reports are in Excel, and we're also gradually
migrating old reports to Excel.

It's not hard to do. If we can do it here, it can be done anywhere.
