Dan, Are you use an IE only solution? I have done a similar app where the person could hit the server (via cf pages ;-) input some data (eg event, date etc.). When they submitted the form, the action page would automatically print registration forms (with dynamic info like user name, user stats etc) to their default printer (network or local). So it worked when they were attached to our network OR when they were on the road. If you want an IE tested only solution, let me know and I'll try to dig up the code.

Lets say I had the server generate all of the letters to be printed and copied them to a file print driver, had the client download the file, and then manually send it to the printer?

I will need to print a number of letters with the dynamic name and address, similar to a mail merge.

I do that exact thing using cffile then exexecute. It sends it through the server to a printer that everyone works on.

I would imagine writing the file out with CFFILE and somehow initiating a DOS command such as: copy file.txt > PRN Dan ----------------------------------------- Dan O'Keefe TriPoint Technologies 954.501.3115 ______________________________________________________________________ This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
