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 V

You could take the form output, write it to a text file using CFFILE.  If you've got an Mac OS X box handy, have it dump the files into a folder on there, and attach an Applescript to the folder using folder actions to print all files to the printer (and then delete them). Some people are unfortun

My guess here is that you envision someone on the internet is browsing a web site and fills out a form. You want that form to print on the web site owners printer? I think that's a WILD idea... however it is only possible if the CF server has network access to the printer.  Is the CF server in
