I think what you're getting at is you don't want that pesky print dialog box
to pop up. I ran into a similar problem with a project I was working on last
year. I didn't develop the solution, but it ended up to be an ActiveX
control that did the printing. I can hear all of you now, yes I know that
locks you into IE, but in my case, that was ok to lock the users into a
browser. The control was fired by the user clicking on a form button.
I know this is probably not the best solution, but I just wanted to let you
know of my experience.

Subject: Printing question
I tried searching the archive first, really I did, but the archive only
seems to go through the end of Jan (unless there's another archive I can't
find). What I did find was a question real close to what I need to ask,
but not the solution.
Here's the original question:
"Does anyone know if there is a custom tag to send the contents of a form
right to a printer without actually having anyone having to press any form
buttons or having to execute anything? I am going to be creating an online
order form and i'd like to have it so then the user submits the form it
automatically just gets printed out. If anyone knows of anything like this
can you let me know,
even if it's not CF based."
What we are actually trying to do is when the user fills out a form and
submits it a bar code label will print. Pressing a form button is okay.
I've looked at CF_Print and CFX_Print and neither of them will work for us.
Thanks in advance.
