You could probably whip up a quick VB COM object to run server side that uses the Printers object.Quickest way would be to use something like cf_pdf to create an unencrypted PDF file, then use some combination of acrobat/ghostscript to dump it to the printer you want.

This is not possible unless you use ActiveX or a client side Java
applet.Trust me.We tried.The closest you can get is something like

user to click

My guess here is that you envision someone on the internet is browsing a
web site and fills out a form. You want that form to print on the web site
owners printer?
I think that's a WILD idea... however it is only possible if the CF server
has network access to the printer.Is the CF server in

You could take the form output, write it to a text file using CFFILE.If you've got an Mac OS X box handy, have it dump the files into a folder on there, and attach an Applescript to the folder using folder actions to print all files to the printer (and then delete them).
