[From Alan Exelby, University of East Anglia:]

I don't believe you can do this as part of the receipt, but you can do it easily as a separate operation. In the Loans tab, on the right, is a Letter button, which gives you a list of options, the defaults for which include 'Borrower summary'. [F11 will give you a print-preview which can be printed.]
We tend not to use this much ourselves these days (users are strongly encouraged to monitor their accounts online through OPAC or other means), but for years we used this a lot and it always worked well for our staff (though I think that in earlier versions of Aleph you had to move from the Loans tab to the Patron tab to get the Letter button).

[From Kevin Collins, SUNY - Stony Brook:]

In version 20, patrons can print lists of their loans in the Web OPAC. (ie of all items on loan, items on hold request, and items recently returned.)
