I've never approached this problem from a windows platform, its one of those things that was easy to script in linux. We did this for Invoices, warehouse pick lists, and shipping manifest / label printing from a CF app.
However there exists some utilities for windows that you can configure to watch a directory and submit files to a predefined printer queue, such that you can write a file to one of these directories from CF and see it appear on a designated printer. Google turned up PrintFile - http://www.lerup.com/printfile/descr.html. I'm not a huge fan of this solution though, as I would want something I could trigger when I wanted and monitor the state of vs a process monitoring directories to take action. Also looks like PrintFile is pretty limited in the raw formats it can work with, so you may have to jump thru hoops to even get something like that to work. I'm hoping someone else has a more elegant solution for this.
