AIR does give more control over printing. AIR requires installation, a
web-hosted app does not. I don’t know the security rules that well, but it
isn’t clear how you prevent someone from installing the app and accessing your
server unless you require authentication first.

I could really use some major advice here. We're so close to the finishing
point on this project, and we're being held back by stupid printing problems...
We have to be able to print with no pop-up dialog boxes, and the choice of
which printer to send the job to will be affected by the data (i.e. a client
with reg-code X gets printed on printer-1 and a client with reg-code Y gets
printed on printer-2.)
We have to automate this, because the temp-workers we hire can't be counted on
to remember how do it correctly.
So... Any ideas on how I can deal with this? Should I dump Flash Player and
switch to AIR? Would that give me better control over the printing? Can AIR
actually do all that I'm asking for here? What will switching to AIR mean for
accessing our data from our ColdFusion/SQL server through https:, if anything?
