We are doing this using the cfimport feature of CFMX. We also do things
like print the actual URL of a link in brackets next to a link in the
print version automatically (something that surprisingly is also
theoretically possible with CSS). This is done using something like
<cfimport taglib="htmltags" prefix=""> (the key is the blank prefix).
Then in the htmltags folder you have a tag for each HTML (or other) tag
you want to process. It rather depends how your system works though. If
you are dealing with a lot of static pages, you might be better off with
adding a print stylesheet.
