I just did something like that because a client hated to click print
when the clicked a printer friendly page button.
BUT I needed to send the page through cf to format for print since it
was complex.
I personally had the button clicked or page or action called and
appended a variable - like in your case - ClosePage
then added a small if statement in the body tag like
<html>
<body <cfif ClosePage EQ 1>onload="window.close();"</cfif>
This way I didn't have to create an entire page for the action and the
same page handled everything.
Just a simple view that may help out.
