Easiest way is to just send Excel headers with header() instead of the
normal HTML headers. The data you send can be a regular HTML table, but
it'll open in Excel and be converted to a spreadsheet. Then the user can
format it however they want and print it. 

If that's not good enough, there are some other classes out there
that'll give you more control. Search google or look on phpclasses.org.
