Lack of real printing is hurting adoption. Microsoft ignores this issue and keeps delivering features that a very tiny minority of users want/need. Printing affects everybody. Not everybody walks around with a fully charged laptop / tablet all day. FIX PRINTING NOW AND BURY TABLEAU FOREVER! Or don't

Have you tried "Export to PDF" in Power BI Desktop?

MS wants people to use the more costly Premium Capacity option to generate paginated reports. It's all about money and not about the users. They don't want to listen to the needs of simple users who want a BASIC print facility (or save as pdf) of an entire report.

I mean come one Microsoft even in InfoPath you had the ability to configure a print view. I have projects that I could get to use Power BI, but they refuse because they can't print the report. And who can blame them, who want to sit and print and scroll 27 page one at a time, because a table has 500 records (after filter). Not to mention the quality, this should be presentable and professional material.

Agreed, the print output is terrible... just a screenshot really. we need all rows in visualisations such as Gantt.
