'old-fashioned layouts' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.

'reports approved by community with postscript' is the wordplay.
'reports' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue (I've seen 'report' mean this).
'approved' becomes 'passed'.
'by community' becomes 'eu' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'postscript' becomes 'ps' ('PS' can be a synonym of 'postscript').
'passed' is a homophone of 'past'.
'past'+'eu'+'ps'='PASTE-UPS'

'of' is the link.
