VB.NET and CR.NET printing a report with out report viewer

Is there a way to print a report with out a report viewer loading? or do you
have to always run the report first then print it in the report viewer?
right now i am making a Crystal Reports document object and loading the
report into which also has a print method, but it has a bunch of parameters
for which i could never guess at like start and end page number etc...
thanks for any help

Hi Brian,

I think you may try to take a look at the PrintToPrinter method, also with
the example code.
ReportDocument.PrintToPrinter Method

For detailed information about crystal report issue, I think you may try to
contact crystal report
