Assuming you mean for the user to print out from his/her computer, you'll likely want to address that via JavaScript. (See the window.print() method.)

thanks a lot, but this method print the whole page...
I only need to print the table on the site, i.e: without the menu of the site, the banners, etc...

thanks a lot...i'll be more than thankful for any help

One solution: have a link to a page that will display only the stuff you want printed, then include the JavaScript stuff on that page to do the printing.

Another solution: add a "print" media type to the page's CSS stylesheet which only displays (prints) the table. E.g., assuming your table has an ID attribute of "fubar":

@media print {
  body * {
    display: none;
  }
  table#fubar {
    display: table;
  }
  table#fubar tr {
    display: table-row;
  }
  table#fubar td, table#fubar th {
    table-cell;
  }
}
