hello, you can use wizard to achieve this, the wizard is as normal model but it will inherit 'osv.osv_memory'

class print_report_wiz(osv.osv_memory):
    _name = "print.report.wiz"

    _columns = {
        'name': fields.many2one('name.name', 'Name',required = True),
    }

the xml view is also as normal but add:

<field name = "target">new</field>

to the action,

the print button will return a dictionary like:

return {
            'type': 'ir.actions.report.xml',
            'report_name': 'your.report.name',
            'datas': datas,
            'context': context,
        }

also you can see these questions:

print report from wizard

create a wizard

Updated

on the print function of the wizard,

first you can fetch the wizard data e.g date_from , date_to, name ....

by using this:

wiz_data = self.read(cr, uid, ids[0], context = context)

now you can access them by using dictionary key e.g : wiz_date[date_from]

after that you can use these values to formulate sql query to fetch the ids you want...

cr.execute('SELECT id '\
                        'FROM table_name ' \
                        "WHERE date BETWEEN %s AND %s", (wiz_data['from_date'], wiz_data['to_date']))

then you have to fetch these ids you can use for e.g:

res_ids = [id for id, in cr.fetchall()]

at this time , you have your desired ids ...

the datas dict will be passed to your report , with three keys: model, ids of this model, and form which contains the wiz_data could be like this:

datas = {
            'ids': res_ids,
            'model': 'model.name',
            'form': wiz_data,
        }

now your report has all information needed,

the "objects" contains a browse record of the given ids on datas dict... also you can use the wizard information in your report like this:

if you want to print e.g this report from date ... to date ...

you can use:

[[ data['form']['from_date'] ]] and [[ data['form']['to_date'] ]]

remember, the form contains your fetched wizard's data ...

also you can filter your data using the report python file by declaring a function to do some filtering...

it depends on your requirements , and it will be a performance issue to filter your data on the wizard function's or in a report's python file [for e.g you'll use the returns values in another function on the python file]....

I hope it'll helps you ....

Regards..
