There is no printing API in HTML5. You will always rely on the client's browser to do all printing. The best you can do is open a new browser window to display the report without any of your website's header/footer/nav/etc. Add a button with the the javascript:

window.print();

to open up the OS/Browser specific print dialog for the user.
