In process COM servers are already set to run with no UI - so why not just suppress the dialog for a COM server? How crazy is it to have to use the Crystal Reports OCX control just to print a simple report with no UI.

You could have a small program running on your server that could detect a new entry in a table with the instructions of what to print. Kinda kludgy, but it would work.
