I assume the report process that you are using now is
processing only?  One way to do this would be to
change it to report that has regular printed output. 
Then place dummy fields on the report and populate
them with the appropriate data and use the print
statement to force it to print.

Of course, depending on your implementation, the print
statement may not even be necessary.
