It looks like this will only print to the local network, whereas I need to
print to the printer connected to the clients local machine over the
internet.

It was 'printserver'. Someday they'll put a real search engine up there...

There's an excellent print server product in the Dev Exchange on
Macromedia. We just used it to print to remote, networked printers at a
big event and it worked like a dream.

Search for print server and you should find it.

Hi Dan,

Unfortunately afaik the closest JavaScript will let you get to actually
printing a file is opening the print dialog box and then the user would
have to hit the okay button to actually print the document...

I believe Flash MX may have a way to go directly to the printer, so you
should be able to create a very simple flash movie with a single text
area which you could populate with data from the flashVars param ( up to
64k ) and then go directly to the printer. You can probably even get the
Flash movie to fit 100% height and 100% width so the text would expand
to fill the browser window... :)

You know what though, I need to print to a clients printer, so I assume
I will be talking JavaScript and the window.print method. I will need to
print a number of letters with the dynamic name and address, similar to
a mail merge.

copy file.txt > lpt1 is it is local or if you have captured the printer
in dos to lpt1 if it is networked.  I do that exact thing using cffile
then exexecute.  It sends it through the server to a printer that
everyone works on.

What is the easiest way to send a text document to a printer from CFML.
I would imagine writing the file out with CFFILE and somehow initiating
a DOS command such as:

copy file.txt > PRN
