If by "print" you mean to display in the browser so that the user can then press the browser's print button, then the answer is no. The browser's print button can only print what is displayed in the current browser window, so if you have 6 pages you will have to display and print each one separately.

No. Printing is under control of the browser running on the client, not the PHP script which runs on the server. There may be a way to activate the browser's print mechanism using javascript, but as I don't use javascript I cannot help you.

Is it possible to define more than one report in the report.inc file, so that different reports open under each other in the browser? (or something like that), so i can print them just with one button

No, it is not possible to merge the output from several tasks into a single PDF document. Each is created as a separate task with its own processing and output file, so each is a separate document and has to be handled separately.
