Issue Summary
I thought I would suggest a new feature: A printable view of Exchange Statements. This could be similar to a bank statement. There could be several views:
Type of Exchange, Date Range, User
A members can possibly print their exchange statement but not the exchange statement of other members. Admins can print any members exchange statement OR an exchange statement for the entire community. It could be filtered by type of exchange if there are categories for wants/offers too. Ultimately, it could be incorporated with a Print To PDF function to allow for PDF statements that can be saved instead of printed.
Just an idea. Maybe if/when I becoming better at coding I can help more. For now, just recording ideas.

This would be a good feature, but I don't think it belongs with this module. I looked recently for a views 'print' plugin and one doesn't seem to exist. Still a client asked for this recently so I might end up coding it myself.
Meanwhile it's possible that this will do the trick entirely, just by printing the content area of the page. It has a pdf option.

When asking for a feature like this it helps to be even more specific.
You don't want me generating a 'view' for you - I gues you want the views components so you can generate it yourself using views.
I've now done this but I didn't make a separate module.
Instead there is a print-table view display style plugin included in http://drupal.org/project/offers_wants. This works like an attachment so that you can attach a 'print' link to other views displays.
In d7 I'll probably make this a separate module
