    //Specify the printer name.
    report.PrinterName = printerName;

    //Create the document.
    report.CreateDocument();

    ReportPrintTool pt = new ReportPrintTool(report);
    pt.PrintDialog();
}

VB.NET

Private printerName As String = "<my printer name>"
Private Sub PrintReport()
    Dim report As XtraReport = New XtraReport1()

    'Specify the printer name.
    report.PrinterName = printerName

    'Create the document.
    report.CreateDocument()

    Dim pt As New ReportPrintTool(report)
    pt.PrintDialog()
End Sub
