Is there any way to display the minimum and maximum pen values on an easy chart printout? I could probably figure out how to get the min and max values to display on the same window but how would I have them print along with the chart when the print button is pressed?

There is not currently a way to do this directly.

Your best bet:

1. Hide the chart’s print button
2. Make a dataset property querying the same tags/date range as the chart
3. Use the min/max expressions to find the information you want
4. Display them next to the chart
5. Make your own print button that prints out the region you need.

I'm not sure you can do that. I tend to put everything I want to print into it's own container and then print the container. It helps to keep things straight in my mind on whats going to print.

Ahhh, that’s a good idea. I was trying to figure out how I could print both the chart and other stuff I want to display next to the chart. That makes sense, thanks!
