But, I guess my question is why do you want to print everything at the same time. Again, I may be misreading your question. Do you generally print an Acute Hepatitis Profile along with a nursing order and a referral.
Yeah. I'm wrong about this one. For Order Requisitions, there is no reason to print it all at the same time. I think of the orders requisition sheet as a list for patients to help them keep track of all the things they have to do or did do for a particular visit. In our experience, a significant amount of places accept their own special form and nothing else; I had forgotten the main purpose of a requisition form (which is to request a service(s)).
Also, I think that having a bunch of orders intended for different recipients on a single sheet could potentially be a violation of HIPAA.
However, it's not completely unimaginable to envision a situation where you'd mix orders from different tabs.

JBS, I don't know if I'd call it a bug. I think it's that way by design.
The problem is that the design is a little hard to figure out. Still, my observations might explain the problems Dr. Roberts is having: mixing different types of orders (e.g. "labs" and "other") and expecting it to print to the same sheet AND/OR the "other" Add/print-order order-of-operations.
I'm still not sure what "blank screen" means. I wonder if the whole report screen is an empty white space.

I think that if the "Order Queue"(light-brownish box to the right of the Orders window) were reworked, then all these problems could be avoided. Expand it. Make it horizontally long. Add columns for dX (drop-down style) and print-orders (I haven't seen drop-downs and check boxes in the same table, so this will probably also have to be a drop-down list, with two options: print, do not print). Remove the print orders button from the tabs. Add a print orders button to the queue. Pressing the print orders button will print only those orders that have the "print" option selected.
