I don't like the idea of an app server performing hardware-related functionality - otherwise we'd need <cfscan>, <cfwebcam>, <cfsound>, etc. :-)
Besides, think of how printing works - you write a file to the mail spool. What format would a server-side print app use? Why bother when there's already a number of applications (Word, PDF apps, etc) that do this quite well? --- Billy Cravens -----Original Message----- From: Matthew R.

It works but it's a pain in the butt. - Matt Small -----Original Message----- From: Raymond Camden [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, April 29, 2002 10:19 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: CFMX You mean printing via CF, on the _client_ box? That's impossible (unless you use some kind of activex or java ob). If you mean on the server - all you would need to do is use a command line call w/ cfexecute. ======================================================================= Raymond Camden, Principal Spectra Compliance Engineer for Macromedia Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo IM : morpheus "My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is." - Yoda > -----Original Message----- > From: Matthew R.
