Printer-Friendly DataGrid option

[PK9]

What options are there for giving a user a printer-friendly link to print out
my datagrid? I'm not sure how to best accomplish this.

I've seen an example where the datasource (a table) is set to a session
variable and then retrieved on the other page. Is there any other way to
better accomplish this?

another cheesy approach i have used is to catch the print event and disable
extraneous material on the page such as buttons and controls so that the
grid can print properly. That does not work if the grid is cropped though. A
much better alternative is simply to spawn an instance of excel to handle
the print routine or adobe for that matter.
