What are the platforms with a good reporting system?

Question

Document flow

There are many programs made with accesss. They take data from ms sql server and use forms to generate various reports, which are then printed on paper.
There is a task to make all this more centralized. So that there are not ten copies of the same program and all these reports, for example, would be grouped by menus in a single application.
Now there is an idea to make it in the form of a site in PHP in the local network of the organization. Of the minuses:
1. It's a chore to make up reports with a complex structure for ancient IE;
2. There may be problems with the encoding, because. PHP files love UTF-8, while in ms sql data is stored in windows-1251;
3. The main thing: it is problematic to print out the prepared reports. Printing as pages directly from the browser is not an option, and converting to pdf is again not as easy as we would like.
In access, everything is cool in this regard: I wrote requests, created a form, threw fields on it, set the data source, and now it was generated neatly in A4 format, ready for printing.
Something like this is needed. Development environment + normal reporting system (preferably free, but also offer suitable paid options). For example Visual Studio Community + FastReport. The main thing is that the generation of reports and their printing should be as transparent as possible without unnecessary troubles.

I would do it on 1C :)
If 1C is not suitable, look towards qlik
