Books, articles on printing reports

I am a developer. I current have the Developer Edition of SQL Server 2000 on
my desktop and I am installing VB.Net 2003 and Reporting Services so that a
report, that uses data from a SQL Server 2000 database, can be printed.
I seek the minimal education available that will enable me to design this
report that my customers, who using the database, will print. Are there
suggestions for books or articles that meet this need?
Thanks.
JimMicrosoft SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services is pretty straight forward if
you avoid the filler about how the engine works (actually to be fair all the
books I've seen spend a lot of time on this), there is a better book but its
quite a bit more techy - hitch hikers guide to reporting services.

released a PDF version a few weeks ago, PDF version is about $20. I found
it a lot easier to read than the others.
