I think you're onto some good ideas, but here's a third one. If the 
whole results can be represented by text, you could prepare the text 
how you want it in a Text member, and then do a copytoclipboard of 
that member. The user could than paste the results into whatever text 
editing program they like, and print it.

Saying that has raised an issue, which is that they could easily 
modify their results (same is true of a printout/fax alternative, or 
an e-mail). Perhaps one way to go is a CGI that takes your posted 
results text, and would e-mail it to the manager, without the user 
ever seeing the text.
