Yes, it is pretty crazy, ColdFusion has NO SCREEN of which to take a SHOT.

There is the <cfdocument...> tag that will create a PDF of HTML.  There 
is the <cfhttp...> tag that will make a request to an URL for HTML.  But 
the rendered document will be based on the internal rules, not anything 
that necessarily aligns with any make or model of browser or OS.
