Maybe.

Kind of.  One could print off the my account page showing all the items 
checked out and due dates, etc.  But if they're really asking for some 
sort of link / button to generate a nicer formatted list of content to 
be printed, then no, not yet.

Kind of.  If we're talking about during the checkout process, staff can 
either close out of the circ window (no receipt) or print a final 
receipt for patrons.  Emailing receipts was discussed in the past, and I 
think someone was looking into action/triggers to do that, but I'm not 
sure if that's gone anywhere yet.

It might be helpful to have some specific examples of 3rd party reading 
list technologies that might be included?  We're not using any, so I 
couldn't comment on that.

I would expect that it's possible to alter the empty results message 
strings, but haven't tried it myself.
