Printable Page by Category AND Date?

I’m running wordpress on a company intranet on it’s own server. The site has been customized quite a bit to suite our needs. However one request I’ve been failing on epically (as my kids would point out) is the ability to create a printable page that is “user” selectable by Date and Category. I’ve been able to create a printable page with one of the plugins available but unable to find a way to query posts in this manner. I would also like to be able to have the comments displayed and printable as well with the results.

I have been researching and trying different things on and off for the past 2 weeks, so trust me when I say that I’ve been trying. Who knows maybe I already have tried the right hack or plugin and just haven’t implented properly but either way, appreciate any help or suggestions you can give.
