Printing multiple screen objects (ALV+GFW) with only 1 print dialog pop-up?

Question

All,
This is related to my previous post at:
Re: How to print multiple ALV Grids with only one print dialog?
but there is still one open question...
My requirement is to create reports that will be called through portals; those reports are a combination of charts and the associated list output describing the data of each chart.
In my first report (4 charts), I created a screen with 8 custom containers: 4 on the left hand side for the charts and 4 to the right for the list output.
To create the charts I am using the Graphical Framework (GFW) and for the ALVs the new CL_SALV* classes.
Everything works fine on the screen, but the users also want to print the report. I got them to the point where they will accept a separate printout (page) for every object (e.g. chart and ALV) of the report.
I put a print button through the GUI status on the screen and trigger the associated print events in the program; this works fine as well, but the problem is that for every output (in this case 8) a print dialog appears and prompts the user for a printer selection. This the users won't accept and - quite frankly - I wouldn't either ;).
Now, in my previous post someone pointed me to the use of the REUSE* function modules to append the ALVs and then print them together; this works and reduces the print dialog to only one for the ALVs.
Even though this is an option, I am still kind of hesitant: why using all the great new OO stuff via the CL_SALV* classes to bring the ALVs on the screen, just to go back to the old approach for the printouts???
Especially since I still can’t figure out how to combine the GFW objects in one print – or even better – how to suppress the dialog by passing the information behind the scenes either.
As of now, I have 2 options:
- 8 print dialogs (OO only)
- 5 print dialogs (using the REUSE approach for the ALVs and triggering the chart prints individually)
Does anyone see a way to bring it down to ONE?
Thanks,
Guenther

Update: I found the solution for the ALVs!
Even though I am using the
"new-page print on parameters G_S_PRINT_PARAMETERS no dialog" statement, the dialogs still appeared; reason for this was that I also set:
"L_O_PRINT->SET_PRINT_ONLY( IF_SALV_C_BOOL_SAP=>TRUE )" before I output the ALV table.
After removing this, the ALVs are printing without pop-up!!!
Unfortunately the GFWs still prompt for the printer selection

Hi,
Mine is also same requirement and i could not even generate multiple print dialogs.Can i have your code to compare with my code please.
I am displaying container information on 200 screen PBO. I have added one custom print button to the grid tool bar(remaing container toolbar print buttons i have disabled). Once i click on custom print button a popup is coming and when i click on continue(one container informtion print is coming) and  it is coming to 100 screen(in this, i am calling selection screen as a subscree) and subsequent print dialog is not coming.
Thanks & Regards
