Standard Report - Append Control Image Width Problem / Limitation or Bug?

Think about it !! There is a way. Here is a one...

 

You can put a Tab Control on the VI. Then put your elements in one tab. Put some other elements in other tab. Hide the tabs and also make the Tab Control transparent. Put two buttons "Next Page" and "Previous Page" Programmatically you can navigate the tabs with these to show the user what is going to Print.  Put a "Print" button too. When the print button is pressed. The 3 buttons become invisible and the code Switches the tab and prints  the Vi. It does this for all tabs, then makes  the buttons visible again. You can print multiple pages this way.

 

Even If I say so myself if you do this correctly, You have got a pretty good Print Preview and Printing Utility. I may do it even on some of my projects. Instead of using buttons you can also use the Menu Bar to the requisite function...

 

Good Luck!
