Hi Miguel,
you can download latest ZIP files from 
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/printing/ReportPrintingFramework.aspx or in alternative from 
http://www.ndatech.it/en/other_software.aspx

I just scanned the assemblies with latest MoMA  and I'm happy to see that all the missing 
parts has been implemented :)

That's the report:

MoMA Scan Results

ReportPrintingFramework.dll
No Issues Found

ReportPrinting.dll
P/Invokes into native code
Calling Method	P/Invoke Method	External DLL
Class ReportPrinting.PrinterMarginInfo:
void .ctor(int)	Int16 GetDeviceCaps(int, Int16)	gdi32.dll
void .ctor(int)	Int16 GetDeviceCaps(int, Int16)	gdi32.dll
void .ctor(int)	Int16 GetDeviceCaps(int, Int16)	gdi32.dll
void .ctor(int)	Int16 GetDeviceCaps(int, Int16)	gdi32.dll
void .ctor(int)	Int16 GetDeviceCaps(int, Int16)	gdi32.dll
void .ctor(int)	Int16 GetDeviceCaps(int, Int16)	gdi32.dll


As you can see still persist some P/Invoke in the core printing library ReportPrinting.dll 
(that isn't my work ... I wrote ReportPrintingFramework.dll, a software layer based on 
ReportPrinting.dll).
Anyway the ReportPrinting.dll source is available (frome the above links too), so I'm 
confident that the P/Invokes may be easily substituted with some other managed call. Any 
suggestion ?
