front panel printing

Using LabVIEW 7.1, I have a button to print my front panel during execution - a report.  Using the Easy Print VI Panel.
This works fine when my table is small.  When I try printing with a 200 row table, I get a Fatal Internal Error: "image.cpp", line 12721 error and LabVIEW crashes.
I have also tried printing and opening a HTML document of the front panel.  But the image always gets limited to one page.
Any ideas around the error or how to get the Report VIs to print more than one page?  Ideally, I would like to limit the print to 1 page width and unlimited pages.

I've never seen this particular error before. What version of LabVIEW, what OS, and what printer are you using? Also, could you post a simple example VI that exhibits the crash behavior so that we could attempt to reproduce it?

I was able to create a solution using the Append Table to Report VI among other Report Generation VIs.
 
My fatal error occured when I tried printing the front panel with a large listbox on it.  I was using the Easy Print VI Panel or Documentation.VI
The error did not occur with few (15) rows in the listbox, but happened when there was 200 rows.  I don't know where the exact limit is.
 
This error happened on both Windows 2000 and XP running LabVIEW 7.1 with two different printers.
