Auto-print a report in 'local' mode?

Hello,
Is there a way to auto-print a report without any user interaction?
We're using 'local' mode with the reports embedded in the application;
there is there is no reporting server.
At the moment, a button on a form opens another form which contains a
ReportViewer control. This report viewer control is populated with a
report at runtime, and the report is displayed to the user. Very nice.
Now, the requirement is for that button to automatically 'print' the
report. (Thus saving the user the manual process). Is this possible?
I know there has to be some way to tell it which printer to print to.
Done some searching and there doesn't seem to be an easy answer. There
are ways, but they involve a reporting server to be present.
Any hints or ideas would be great.
Thanks,

Thanks for the info, but this seems to be for 2000 (I'm using RS
2005). Not only that, this is using the 'server' mode, whereas we're
using 'local' mode.
Any other ideas?
Cheers heaps...
