You must understand that your ASP.NET/C# code is running on the server machine not on the client! So, when you publish your website to a live server, it's likely that it does not have any printer installer and that's why you get such error. Again, your code is trying to print to a printer installed at the server not at the client.
If you want to print the report to client printers, then try the solutions provided by these links

sorry but I cannot figure out what you want to do at all. Do you want to get the report (rpt) printed to the "Default" printer at the client machine? clarify a bit please. thanks,

@marc..yes i want the report printed to default printer at client machine..how to code for that..

ok have you taken a look at the links I provided you above? I think the third one has a code for printing to default printer but it uses an utility that needs to be installed at the client + it's not free, sadly. The second link also has a solution but it requires more user intervention. Review those links and let me know.
