I was finally able to find the "inner exception" info. Here's what i added:

Try

report.Render("Image", deviceInfo, AddressOf CreateStream, warnings)
Catch e As System.Exception
   Dim inner As Exception = e.InnerException
   While Not (inner Is Nothing)
      MsgBox(inner.Message)
      inner = inner.InnerException
   End While
End Try
 
catch (Exception ex)   
        {    
            Exception inner = ex.InnerException;    
            string messages = "";    
            while (inner != null)    
            {    
                messages += "; " + inner.Message;    
                inner = inner.InnerException;    
            }              MsgBox(messages );
        }

The second line above is from the code posted about printing without print preview so the try-catch block goes around it. I was finally able to determine the error occurring which was a datasource had not been supplied (which was but the name didn't exactly match). Anyway, the report successfully printed this afternoon without a print preview!!!
