Does anyone know if it's possible to get an report printed using the Firebird database It seems to be very good for using with embedded databases, but i can't find any good free report liberys to use with it.
Not aware of any free reporting tools available for .NET I'm afraid and there are no reporting facilities in any of the Express editions. Most third-party vendors seem to charge an arm and a leg for these products, which would probably explain why there isn't anything available for free.
There are a couple of third-party products that are relatively inexpensive compared to Crystal Reports, ActiveReports and VSView:
Reporting Service is NOT included in SQL Server 2005 ED (Only in Standard and above), you can find a simplified controls for Reporting Serivce in the VS2005
That being said, SQL Developer can be purchased for US$35.
You can always put the onus on your customer to buy fully licensed SQL server.

I do have an ado.net provider, but i guess that crystal reports are going to cost me, and since i'm doing this as an hobby, i don't have the means to buy it. It would be best if i could find something that is licensed gpl/lgpl.
What i mean is that i would like, from my app written in .net, be able to write an report over all entries that match any given criteria. And to get it printed on paper so it looks good.

you can always do html based reports.
Anything that you find that is ado.net compatible should work.
Does reporting services come with SQL Server 2005 Express maybe thats one way to go.
