The patch add a output "print"
it's only the report, with no header/footer, etc
from this report, it's easy to generate the PDF (a lot of html2pdf exist)

If the goal of this tickets is just to print the reports (and now custom queries) I think this can be closed since the print-media stylesheet already does this. Plus you can output to PostScript by checking the "Print to file" in most standard printer dialogs.

I think that some kind of report output generator component Interface, that the user could register as a plugin to be listed/used from reports.py could be useful.
With this we could have the "Output report as XXXXX" solved.
where XXXX = { HTML, PDF, XLS, XML, …..}
I've been working to port the patch posted at #2669 to 0.10.2 (http://trac.edgewall.org/attachment/ticket/2669/report-by-xls-for-trac0_9_5.diff and http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyexcelerator), made it work, and then came to this idea.
What do you think about it?

The change proposed by mapelayo is reflected in this patch:
http://trac-hacks.org/browser/reportpluginpatch/0.10.3/trac-0.10.3-report-plugin.patch
it defines a class ITicketReportRenderer(Interface):
"""Extension point interface for components that implement new report writing formats."""
in trac.ticket.report
this is an example plugin: ExcelReportPlugin

Replying to ajo:
it defines a class ITicketReportRenderer(Interface):
Thanks for working on a patch for this, however there is already an IContentConverter interface which is meant to handle these types of conversions. See the query module's implementation for an example. And also an example of handling the conversion. If you have any questions feel free to stop by the development MailingList or IrcChannel.
Also, this won't make it into 0.10.4 since we reserve enhancements for major releases. It could make it into 0.11 when the patch is ready.

As the original request is more about a "ready-to-print" HTML, enhancing the @media print style should be enough (comment:4). I suppose this makes it a worksforme, as for me at least the printed view of a report already looks good.
The more general changes mentioned in comment:6 are covered by #3332.
