First of all: you have to understand where which part of the software runs.
Even when you test on your local development machine, there are two different parts to consider, even though they are on one physical machine. When your web application gets hosted somewhere in the web, one part - i.e. the server part - is on the hosting server.
When you execute asp.net code, that happens on the server. I.e. on the server in the internet, not on your local machine! No, not on your local machine.
It is on the client machine where to print the report. Consequently, that's something to be executed there on the client where you see the application in a web browser where to do the printing. JavaScript runs in the browser. Consequently, use some JavaScript to initiate printing.
