1. This one is easy, simply make a button like so:
Code: 
<input type=button value=Print onclick='window.print()'>
2. This one will probably not be so easy. I'm not aware of any way in asp to print straight from the database. You might wanna post that question in the ASP forum, but I don't think it's possible. However, you could create a popup box to pull the information and print it from the database similar to the example I showed above.

I will assume that you know how to pull the information to a database. I will even further assume that you know how to create a table to display that information. Write these processes up in a seperate .asp file (or in whatever server side language you use) and then add a button to your original page like this:

<input type=button value='Print Database Values' onclick='window.open("datatable.asp", "", "width=300, height=200")'>

make sure in the seperate file you use to display/print the data in a table that you add this to the body tag:

<body onload='window.print(); self.close();'>
