Have you tried the built-in Crystal Reports support for Visual Studio?  I
have used it many times and it works very well and allows you to export to
various formats such as PDF.

One suggestion I would like to make is to re-consider a web client
approach.  You won't have very good control of printing with a web app.  The
best you can do is send a PDF from a web client for decent printing.

I recently finished a complex app with some specific printing needs, though
not dot matrix.  When doing a test app I found I couldn't do it via a web
app if I wanted any decent print control.  So I created a WinForms app and
published it via IIS.  This give the benefits of easy updating like a web
app, but most important gives you full control of printing.

You won't have the control you want via a web client.  Web apps can replace
a lot of "fat client" apps, but if you need good printing control, no
browser offers that support yet.
