Default Printing immediately from form

I'm going to start this off for apologizing for not being able to find the
answer to this already on the forums as well as not being able to figure it
out since it seems it should be easy.

Here's the background: I've got a form with some information on it. I've
got a query to pull up all sorts of related information to what I'm looking
at in the form as well as the information in the form (one result in query).
I've got multiple reports in which to print out this information on to an
assortment of labels (the information is different as some items are shipped
out and we keep the backups/related items). All of this is getting printed
out on a continuous feed label printer, the individual labels are already
separated on the roll of paper labels. I've treated each "page" of the
report as one label. Each report consists of 1 page.

The problem: Not only do I want to be able to print a report without having
having to deal with the query or report in any way (i.e. click on the button,
query opens, report prints) but I want to print out a specific number of
copies of one of my one page reports. "Specific number" happens to refer to
a quantity that has been produced and needs labeled and this number is
fetched by the query.

What I'd like the play by play to be: I click button. Query opens, report
#1 prints "n" number of copies. Report #1 closes. Report #2 opens. Report
#2 prints "x" number of copies ("x" is preset/static). Report #2 closes.
Report #3 opens. Report #3 prints one copy. Report #3 closes. Query
closes. Nothing of the above is apparent to the user except the new pile of
labels he/she has to now deal with. Can I write all of this to happen with a
single on_click event?

Hopefully the over-explanation helps and thanks in advance.

-Jon
