Hello,

I have a web application, which is an online form to schedule appointment. What I want to achieve is when the form is filled out and submitted on the web, the information goes to a printer and is printed out. Can someone please give me some directions on how to do this.

Thanks,

    What printer?

    Connected to what computer?

    With CF8 we now have the <cfprint...> tag. Thus you can send a job to a
    printer connected to the ColdFusion server.

    Of course if the ColdFusion server and its printer are in New York City
    and the user who pressed the form submit button is in a Los Angeles.
    This may or may not be a very useful result.

    If you want the form submit button to send the job to a printer local
    the user's client machine would require the use of JavaScript or
    something similar running on the client machine.
