cf8 vs cf9

Our small environment:  We run a system based on a series of Flash 8 programs (AS2) talking to an Access DB (soon to move to MySQL) via Flash Remoting and CF8 on a local server and we use CF8's built-in web server but no browser (therefore no HTML).

We want to move to cf9 STANDARD but I'm concerned about 2 features which are only in Enterprise:

Server-side printing

FlashPaper generation

What do these mean? If I don't have Enterprise, a flash program can't output a report to printers attached to the server or in the local network? We do this a lot.

We currently have licenses for FlashPaper2. Does this mean we can't create FlashPaper doc's in CF9 Standard?

I can't find explanations for these "features", the help desk were unable to explain, the Sales people ask you to leave messages and don't get back.

So, I figured I'd dowload CF9 and install it on a test system on a 30 day trial. Of course, the only version it will install is Enterprise so I can't test what we want to purchase.

Can anyone help me here?

    more or less. the infrastructure bits are mostly binary (you get them

    w/enterprise, not in standard at all) but the stuff you want is just "throttled":

    all features in enterprise & standard are basically the same, those that are in

    standard are just throttled to run in just one thread/request.
