Integration with WinForms to Printer

Hello,
I have the following scenario and I would like to know what my options
are:
I am using Reporting Services 2005 to generate a pre-printed report
(an invoice for example). My WinForms application (.NET 3.0) has a
screen through which the users can enter the report parameters (the
date, account number, etc.)
I want those parameters to be passed to reporting services to invoke
the invoice report, and I want the output go directly to the user's
local printer. The user will not see the report on a screen at all.
All the user will have to do is enter the parameters from the screen
and hit a custom button called 'Print' and the invoice will be
printed.
Also, another portion of the question: can I dynamically tell
reporting services which printer to spit the report to, and if so,
how?
All suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks,There is a good extension samples, called Printer Delivery Sample. You can go
through the code and the way to configure, which is in BOL help.
You can use the same to code in URL as well, so that it will take directly
to Printer.
