Spot On.

As I said you need a licenced copy, but I literally just
print the same data that I am looking at on the screen, no
extra IBOQuery copies to make it work, all the fields that
are available in the application can be seen in the Report
Generator.

This is the best way to use it. The add-on package is just
the icing on the cake, as your customers can generate an
ad-hock report that is not available in the main
application. But you don't need to use it.
