    There are many ways to print the contents of a dataset, but maybe be more specific and tell us what you are trying to do?

    just trying to print the contents of the dataset to a printer.

    for now i'm using reporting services to display the data in a report view and give the user several ways to print.

    To a printer?

    Then what you're doing should be just fine. What is the problem with this current method?

    If you need a powerful solution for that, try Crystal Reports or another ASP.NET compatible reporting engine.

    www.infragistics.com has some cool stuff too

    I think that is programming in general, because people don't always have time to make things user friendly.
