You could probably whip up a quick VB COM object to run server side that uses the Printers object.  Quickest way would be to use something like cf_pdf to create an unencrypted PDF file, then use some combination of acrobat/ghostscript to dump it to the printer you want.

A great book for learning VB Com objects is Visual Basic Objects by John Smiley.  One chapter of it was worth the entire price of the book for me.

Best of luck,
