We ran into this a couple of months ago with an intranet application that needed to print nightly reports, as well as reports on demand for a local office. We ended up installing Batch and Print Pro on the server, which has a directory monitor feature. Using CFMX 7 and the PDF generation tools, we generated PDF files and saved them to the directory the Batch and Print Pro was configured to monitor. It would then pick up the file and print it to the default printer on the server. Works like a charm! http://www.traction-software.co.uk/batchprint/ -Justin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:230092 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
