The only way I have found to print data returned in a Form application( if the data is more than is displayed on one screen ) is to send the results to a report and print the report - I have a trigger that does this and if you would find it useful I would be happy to send it to you - it is easily modified so you could use it in your app .

Note: if the data can be shown on one screen, then use the print function on the File menu.( or Print Screen )
