I have a form that when the user clicks the print button the print code that I have in place prints to the print screen for the user to click the printer that they have then click print. Is there a way that the user can click the print button and it prints out a report of the form that was filled out by the user? I am using VS 2010 with C#.

C#

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
   {
       ButtonPrint.Attributes.Add("onclick", "window.print(); return false");
   }
