Yes it is possible.

The FileSystemObject will allow you to do so.

See here for a technique which allows you to output HTML and open it in Word:

With regard to printing, where do you want the printing to happen? At the server end, or the client (i.e. browser) end?

thank u,
the links are really helpful. but, in the first link, it is abt creating a file and writing contents into it but it is not abt converting an asp page contents to a file.
i want to print it on the client end as a report.

Users can print any web page that they want simply by using the browser's print function. If you want to trigger this automatically or provide a button to do this on the page itself, then see here:

PS - kajakske's link didn't seem at all relevant to your problem, which is why I provided one which was.
