CopyC#
Telerik.Reporting.IReportDocument myReport = new MyReport();

// Obtain the settings of the default printer
System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings printerSettings
    = new System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings();

// The standard print controller comes with no UI
System.Drawing.Printing.PrintController standardPrintController =
    new System.Drawing.Printing.StandardPrintController();

// Print the report using the custom print controller
Telerik.Reporting.Processing.ReportProcessor reportProcessor
    = new Telerik.Reporting.Processing.ReportProcessor();

reportProcessor.PrintController = standardPrintController;

Telerik.Reporting.InstanceReportSource instanceReportSource =
    new Telerik.Reporting.InstanceReportSource();

instanceReportSource.ReportDocument = myReport;

reportProcessor.PrintReport(instanceReportSource, printerSettings);
CopyVB.NET
Dim report1 As New MyReport

' Obtain the settings of the default printer
Dim printerSettings As New System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings

' The standard print controller comes with no UI
Dim standardPrintController As New System.Drawing.Printing.StandardPrintController

' Create an instance report source to pass the report to the report processor
Dim instanceReportSource As New Telerik.Reporting.InstanceReportSource()
instanceReportSource.ReportDocument = report1

' Print the report using the custom print controller
Dim reportProcessor As New Telerik.Reporting.Processing.ReportProcessor
reportProcessor.PrintController = standardPrintController
reportProcessor.PrintReport(instanceReportSource, printerSettings)
