JasperReports has a GUI called "IReport"
You can download it at: http://www.jasperforge.org/jaspersoft/opensource/business_intelligence/ireport/

You can also find an IReport tutorial on the web.

OOPS I forgot.

Another approach is to create a jsp that uses JSTL <sql:query> tag
to get the result set and use a JSTL <c:forEach> tag to iterate it to display the report in HTML. By adding:
<head>
<script type="text/javascript>
function printPage(){
window.print();
}
</script>
</head>
and by adding a button at the bottom of the page:
<input type="button" value="Print Report" on click="printPage()" />

you can print-out your jsp report.
