This is going to be a bit difficult, because "you" and your database are at the server side and the printing must occur at the client side. But your user can use the "print" option of your browser to print an image of your page.

hi,

You need to forward the user to a page where the data are less crowded or more suitable for printing and then you add javascript like so..

<form>
<input type="submit" value="print" onClick="window.print()" />
</form>

that should be simple enough for you to implement...
