Print by groups with page break between groups

Hi, I have a request from my client to default printing to groups of a certain column. Eg, always print by "service" groups. Ideally each group would look like a separate print. At the very least a page break between the groups. Currently it will print groups if the user has selected grouping, but it's just one long printout with the column headers only on the first page.

Attached is one of your samples which i used to change the columns at print time. If you can use it to solve the above that would be awesome.

Thanks

Peter

Hello Peter,

Currently our WPF Reporting library does not have a functionality to insert a page break at a particular position of data records. It just measures each record element and if it fits within the remaining space then it's included in the page.

You can suggest this functionality as a new product idea for future versions (or vote for existing ones) at <https://es.infragistics.com/community/ideas>.
Submitting your idea will allow you to communicate directly with our product management team, track the progress of your idea at any time, see how many votes it got, read comments from other developers in the community, and see if someone from the product team has additional questions for you.
Remember when submitting your idea to explain the context in which a feature would be used and why it is needed as well as anything that would prevent you from accomplishing this today. You can even add screenshots to build a stronger case. Remember that for your suggestion to be successful, you need other members of the community to vote for it. You can also link back to this thread for additional details.

Thank you in advance to submitting your product idea.

Thanks for getting back to me. I've mocked up a PDF illustrating the behavior. In plain English it would be something like...

When printing, group records by "Service" column

Insert page break between each group.

Each group of printed sheets would be sent to different departments - one print divided up and handed out.

Hello Peter,

Could you possibly send an image of a report you wish to print using this sample?
