I had similar problems several times, ... and wrote several times here that export/printing part of UR needs more features ...
Kinook is right that the fact we have attributes, items details/item notes, makes it not easy to come up with print that would satisfy everyone. For cataloging DVDs, which also uses attributes/data combinations, I use
http://www.whereisit-soft.com/ which has a very nice and flexible "report generator", maybe Kinook should get a clue from there,

And regarding HTML export as well. I didnt know whether I should smile or cry when I was reading how to get HTML export (this should definitely be a standard export option), ... do this/ edit this file/ copy sth/ ... ??? Again, I know that there are 100s ways for HTML layouts and data organization of HTML page, but Kinook should provide at least few of them in the standard export directly to HTML ... without user intervention and tweaking xml files ... MyBase for example does it very nicely ...
