I'd suggest you to convert your HTML report into PDF and then print it via PDF plugin which exists for all popular browsers.
For example, I use HTMLDOC:
my $html = 'your html page ...';
my $fname = 'my_report.pdf';
my $flogo = 'your_logo.jpg';
my $backimg = 'your_background.jpg';
open(WRITE, "|htmldoc -t pdf -f $fname --fontsize 10 --header ... --f
+ooter t/D --logoimage $flogo --bodyimage $backimg --webpage --size A4
+ --top 10mm --bottom 10mm -") or die "Couldn't open htmldoc: $! $?";
print WRITE $html;
close WRITE or warn "Some error was generated in the pipe. Error :$! "
+;
In this case, we create PDF file in the webserver directory and then we can retrive it using directly link on this file or mod_perl features.
It's just example, maybe not good, but it works. I make print view of invoices and payments in my system by this way and then I print those document via internet using PDF plugin.
Also, try to look at module HTML::HTMLDoc , which implements an Perl interface to the programm HTMLDOC.
I hope I helped.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
