There are a couple of things to try:
Put a link on the page back to itself and pass a variable called
"printformat" Then wrap the contents of what you want printed on the page
in an if clause, if the printformat variable is true. Exclude the
information that you do not want to show up.
e.g.
<cfparam url.printformat = false>
<a href="#cgi.script_name#?printformat=true">Click here for printer
friendly format</a>
<cfif NOT printformat>
This will not show up on the page!
</cfif>
If you are using IE only, then you can also put a stylesheet trick to print
a different page when they go to print:
<link rel=alternate media=print
href="<cfoutput>#cgi.script_name#?printformat=true</cfoutput>">
