Please don't post bitmap images!  Even though you gave it an extension of png, it is still a bitmap .bmp at heart is still a large file

Much, much smaller file sizes.

One idea for removing the cursor legend before printing is to set up some invoke nodes or property nodes to hide the legend on that graph, then invoke the print routines, then make the legend visible again when done.

I haven't really worked with the report generation toolkit before, and your icons look a bit different then they do on my PC.    To set the paper size, I believe that will be a property that has to be set in the print driver.  You may want to set up another Windows printer where the printer driver is set to A4 paper by default, and send the report to that printer instead.

Are you saying your plot legend is actually a separate control from the waveform graph?  If so, perhaps you can put the graph and the multilist box control in a cluster (color it transparent if you don't want it to look different) and send the reference to the cluster control to the append graph VI.

All of this may take some experimentation to get working right.  Good luck.
