Thanks for the info, Eric... Unfortunately that solution still appears to require user-interaction of some sort... You can't just hit Print and have it go to the printer that you want it to go to. Unless, of course, the printer is shared on the network and available to the server -- so it's the

So... With all this discussion of printing from Flash Player and whatnot, it seems almost certain that we're going to have to switch to AIR... Has anyone here ever taken a fairly mature app from Flash Player to AIR? I'm certain it can't be as simple as checking the AIR App button in the FB4

To clarify, I'm aware that FB4 has a convert from Flash to AIR wizard... I don't trust wizards to actually do the right thing, in most cases... In fact, I generally find that they break more than they fix... So, I guess I'm asking for your experiences with this wizard, if you have any...

Two problems with that - #1, we use SQL 2000, not SQL 2005 or 2008 (doesn't seem like they offer a version of that library for SQL 2000, from what I can tell). Second, it still requires user interaction... It's basically a custom print-dialog box -- any print-dialog box is a bad thing for us.
