No, we just name the printers what we need 'em to be named (you can change
their names when you hook 'em up to a computer, and when you network to 'em
as well) then set the appropriate printer-name in the .xml configuration
file for the Flex program... I suppose I could write something that would

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

You mean from the MSSQL database? I'm unfamiliar with the reporting
features from there, but it would seem to me to be the same situation as PHP

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.
Air is definitely an option but version control becomes an issue PHP has the
same drawback.. is the sharedprinter option viable for you...

Yeah, I don't care for the version-control stuff, if we wind up doing this
with AIR... But the people who are going to access this program are pretty
much in-house only, so hopefully it won't be too terrible... The only
people outside of our company who will access this app are the IT staff from
Air 2.0 has the whole native process thing, so guess this is possible if you
have a shell script or something that can do this. I have not looked at the
PHP thing, but CF has access to printers via the server as of CF8. See
CFPRINT and getPrinterInfo() for example. I've never used this, but
Yeah, looks like PHP and CF now offer pretty much the same setup, it seems.
Looks like the printer(s) have to be shared on the network, thus
allowing the server to know about them. Fine for the shows when we're using
a local server; not good when the server is our web-hosting server.

We *HAVE* to be able to print with no pop-up dialog
From what I've read, it does appear that AIR 2.0 will do it. There are
methods on PrintJob that will return a list of the client's printers, and
let you select one to send the job to, and skip all dialog boxes. So AIR
might actually be an option.
But I'd prefer a solution with Flash Player.

AIR 2.0 is still so new that the info is still confusing... I'm not 100%
certain, myself, but it does look like a good possibility.
