Printing SSRS 2000 Report from VB.net

I am trying to accomplish this and don't know if its possible or not.

I have a VB.net form which contains a button 'Print'.
The requirement is when the user clicks this button the pdf version of the SSRS report is printed.

I haven't found a way to do that. Currently, when the user clicks the 'Print' button we have it linked to the pdf report (through the URL link)...

Can we achieve the direct printing as requested without displaying the report?

TIA..
