caball88 has it right. An alternative is doing it this way.

You can use this sub to do the printing:

    Public Sub Print()

        System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.Write("<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=""JavaScript"">" & vbCrLf)
        System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.Write("window.print();" & vbCrLf)
        System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.Write("</SCRIPT>")

    End Sub

Then anytime you want to print the screen you just call this in your code:

Print()
