ASP.NET - Launching Telerik reports

This is my first foray into Telerik reports, and I'm very pleased. The code below has two parts, launching a report in a web page, and printing the report to a printer ON THE SERVER. Obviously this is not normal ASP.NET functionality; but this was for an intranet and we were printing packing slips to an internal printer.

Great, great functionality.
