Print "Low Stock" Items like I can Item Sales Report

If I go to "Reports" & "Item Sales", then define my report range and type, I can Ctrl-P and print a report (that's why it's called report?)
But, if I go to "Items" and "Low Stock Alert", and Ctrl-P, I get a snapshot of the current position of the scroll pane for the items.

Why can't I print the Low Stock like I can Item Sales?

I've seen the community response question where someone pointed out that you can export to CSV, but that's your entire inventory.  I don't want to have to create an super-elaborate excel macro to hide rows based on whether current stock is less than low stock alert amount, and low stock alert is enabled.  Seems like I should just be able to Ctrl-P it like I can reports.

Am I doing something wrong, or is the website functionality just inconsistent?

I just tried it and I changed the layout from portrait to landscape and it gets rid of the scrollbar issue. Looks like it's all displaying now. 

 

You can also click the + on the right of the report headings and deselect anything you don't need.

For instance, if you're only one location, then you probably don't need the locations column.

Personally I don't need the Sold by (each/weight/etc) or the category for that matter.

This will make the amount of info displaying on the report fit the portrait layout.

 

I think other reports just don't have as many columns of information to display.

I could be wrong, I know some reports just size to fit the page.

You could also adjust your printout margins or scale of print.

I do this for the sales report, it always pushes over a couple lines to a 2nd page and I want it to all fit on one page. I adjust the scale to like 90% or whatever to make it fit.

Did you ever figure this out? I am not very tech savvy, but I have looked up how to print a low stock report. I can produce the report on my screen, but when I go to print it out I get what you got. Either what is showing on my screen, or my entire inventory! So now I take that report and spend an hour removing what I don't need to look at. I don't do Excel macros!
