Printing from SSRS Report Viewer without using ActiveX

I've got a requirement where I need to use an SSRS Report Viewer, and we want to provide the users the ability to print the results. Now normally that is accomplished via the in-built printing functionality of the Print Viewer, but that requires an Active X component. We have no control over our consumer's environment and would like to eliminate this need for an Active X component.

I can't seem to find any resources on how to subvert the Active X aspect of printing. Is there anyone out there who knows what I need to do in order to provide print functionality to the end users without downloading the component?

Unfortunately, I don't think there is anyway to override the behavior of the ReportViewer control in such a way as to allow for this.

Instead of using the ReportViewer control, you could render the report as a PDF and transmit the PDF back to the client browser. Then, it could render using the Acrobat Reader plug-in.
