If you're using good HTML markup and CSS to render the UI (which is more likely if you're using ASP.NET MVC than it is if you're using WebForms), you can exploit a useful feature that allows an additional CSS Stylesheet to be used specifically for printing, like this:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="print.css" type="text/css" media="print" />

In this stylesheet, you override the settings from the main CSS stylesheet to reformat the HTML as you need. That may include hiding unwanted text using

display:none;

in the applicable styles.

You'll need to be pretty competent with CSS, in my opinion, but it's highly efficient - there's no code to write. You display the data on-screen and when you print it, it comes out differently.
