Hi,

I am working on printing the labels with a particular network printer ( TCP/IP ), when the user click a button on UI.

CUPS is installed but didn't configure the printer yet. Whats the next step, after configuring it in CUPS control panel?

Have no clue on how to get this done!!!

We are using Coldfusion 9.

Thanks

I'm not aware of what CUPS is, but to print from CF (as in, to print from within a CF page--as opposed to printing from a user's browser) , you would use the CFPRINT tag. See the docs (CFML Reference and also the CF Developer Guide) which each have substantial documentation on how to configure and use that. (You need to install the printer driver on the CF server, and  then need to see that CF has found it, as shown in the "settings summary" page of the CF admin.)
