    Ctrl P does not do a good job of printing the dashboard. Provide a Print button which optimises printing perhaps defaulting to the filters & title on page 1 and the dashboard sheets in landscape on pages 2 to n+1

    Without the ability to post to an SSRS ON-PREMISES or at least the ability to print from the Power BI Desktop - thousands of my company's BI budget $$$ will to Tableau.

    Agree as well. Sure many of my users will go for the latest in Power BI desktop. The other 70% of them are dinosaurs and if they can't get it printed from their assistants it's useless to them.

    agree with comments below- Printing to PDF, printing hard-copy, printing multiple pages, send Printed PDF in email etc. must be a top-priority. Many thanks PowerBI team

    I agree. Without proper printing and PDF export the use of PowerBI is limited.

    Certainly need better print options to make BI a real business grade product. Current print solution is useless.

    Not really a solution. How can we automate printing. Many people still expect emailed reports, not wanting to go to browser or interested in understanding another new tool that gives them nothing extra or above what they simply want. Need a scheduled print option similar to whats offered by other tools

    I need to be able to print out legible reports. The ones I'm able to print are so small you can't read! This is very important.

    Please REOPEN this idea ! It is so annoying. The only way to print correctly is to take screenshots and try to stick them together. This is ridiculous.
