If I can't figure it out we've got a VB programmer that I could probably entise to build a simple com object (or something) to do the job.

Re: Printing with Coldfusion
If you just need the file, why not skip the printer driver? You can use CFDocument in CF7 to generate a PDF file, then do whatever you want with it (CFMail it, CFFtp it, etc.). -Joe On 8/31/05, Rick Root <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have a need for a coldfusion application to generate a document > (possibly PDF) and then print it to a file using a printer driver > installed on the server, and then perform an operation on that file > (email, FTP, etc) > > The first and last parts are easy, the printing part I'm not so sure... > > Rick > > > ~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:216989 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
RE: Printing with Coldfusion
You amy also be able to leverage javax.print via the JVM. I haven't tried it but from the docs it looks possible. http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/javax/print/package-summary.html -Original Message- From: Jerry Johnson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 31 August 2005 15:30 To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Printing with Coldfusion Do you actually need to print it using a print driver, or just place the file in a queue folder on the printer's RIP?
