I need help with Printing

Ok,
I am making a program for a this small bussness I work for. Now they wanted me to set up a database for our products serial-numbers and a front end program for it. Now on top of the program they want me to make they also want hardcopies of each serial number entered, including all the info that goes along with it.
Now I have been hunting all over for information to make it so I can just print the MDIchild form as is. Well all I could find was tutorials that just give 2 sentances explantion and then give a mess load of code and that does help me. I need a good detailed toturial to work through so i can learn the in's and out's of the printing setup so I can adapt it to my needs.

    If you are retrieving the data from database why dont u use crystal reports in the VS 2005 IDE. just drop the viewer on a form set the souce manually or u could get fancy.

    The viewer has all the printing functions build in as well as exporting to all sort of files like excell,pdf etc.

    I am sure the wizzard will help you with ur cystal report.

    Sorry mate this is just the easy way and those crystal reports can very usefull.

    If you dont like this idea goo to www.google.com and search. good luck!

    PS: your explanaition is not so good, so its not so easy to help u with your issue.
