Print search result as a table plugin?

Hello everyone, thank you again mister kovidgoyal for all the hard work, very much appreciated.

I was cleaning up my works and related documents and came upon a thought that would make my (and probably others) life easier.

a plugin to print either as HTML or a table in office or OpenOffice product which would display my current search the way it is represented on the screen, i.e. sort order?

I searched a lot on the subject, either through plugin adder within Calibre, google search and forum search. Found nothing easy enough for me to understand.

I did find this Save/export/print search results
however, I can not use the output nor know how to manipulate it to a final product that I can use.
example:
Quote:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

-<calibredb title="asterix">
-<record>
<_status>None</_status>
<title sort="Operation Getafix">Operation Getafix</title>
-<authors sort="Goscinny, René & Uderzo, Albert">
<author>René Goscinny</author>
<author>Albert Uderzo</author>
</authors>
<series index="3.0">Asterix film adaptations</series>
</record>
-<record>
<_status>None</_status>
<title sort="Asterix Versus Caesar">Asterix Versus Caesar</title>
-<authors sort="Goscinny, René & Uderzo, Albert">
<author>René Goscinny</author>
<author>Albert Uderzo</author>
</authors>
<series index="2.0">Asterix film adaptations</series>
</record>
-<record>
<_status>None</_status>
<title sort="Asterix Conquers America">Asterix Conquers America</title>
-<authors sort="Goscinny, René & Uderzo, Albert">
<author>René Goscinny</author>
<author>Albert Uderzo</author>
</authors>
<series index="4.0">Asterix film adaptations</series>
</record>
</calibredb>
Could someone please help me?

As a self answering theme, I know that if I save as a .csv I can open it in excel but as the layout and columns displayed in calibre are already laid out the way I like them to be, to be able to print it as is would be nice. There are a variety of free directory printers out there that will do just that, would be great to be able to do it within calibre without having to rely on external third party applications to get the job done.
