Server Side Printing In ColdFusion 8

This one was not discussed during the usergroup tour, and I have not seen anyone mention it since we released the CF8 public beta, so ...

If you've ever needed server-side printing under programmatic control, ColdFusion 8 introduces a new <CFPRINT> tag. <CFPRINT> prints PDF files (including those created using <CFDOCUMENT>, <CFREPORT> and <CFPDF>) to a printer of your choice. At a minimum, <CFPRINT> requires just the name of the PDF file to be sent to the default system printer, but additional attributes can be used to specify the printer, copy count, the pages to print, as well as to pass lots of other printer settings. The list of available printers (and their names, as must be passed to <CFPRINT>)is listed in the ColdFusion Administrator. And a new supporting GetPrinterInfo() function returns all sorts of information about specified printers.

CFPrint
Forta is talking about a cool thing about ColdFusion 8 that is the new CFPRINT tag. It allows you to do server side printing. I think that Adobe really gets who their client is… it is companies trying to do stuff on a larger WAN type environment IE Intra nets.
