The e3000 cannot recognize a printer attached to your PC (or your PC for that matter). The only thing I can suggest is that you write your report to a file and use a tool, such as Reflection, to download the file to your PC and then copy it to your local printer s a binary file. The tool should provide printing capability (carriage control could be an issue depending on how it is done).
FTPing the file would be a cheaper option. I think FTP is standard on e3000.
If this report is not standard ASCII text, it is going to be trickier. The report file will have to be written in whatever format your PC printer can read (e.g., PCL if HP printer). This might require setting up a dummy device with the printer characteristics on the e3000 and pointing it to a physical disk file.
After the file is downloaded, you can copy it to the printer as a binary file.
