Re: [libreoffice-users] how to put images into a report

       Since you desire to print on paper,
            yes, the images would need to be on the document;
           therefore either #2 or 3 should do.

Thank you for your suggestions!  None of them work because the report will
be printed on paper and needs to be generated automatically from the
information in the database.  Printing should also happen automatically,
triggered by a cron job ...
