Hi Eric, The first example of JS script I send, prints the content of the clients browser. As you were talking about printing a file, i assumed you wanted to print a file on the server, which you could do with CFEXECUTE.
I am not sure why neither of these solutions are not right for you? Can you not read the content of your file file with CFFILE, output it to the clients browser and use the JS script to start the print job?
