Cold Fusion Programmers! I Need Some Help!

[iotone]

does anyone know how I can print something and have the print dialogue box suppressed?? or, does anyone have any custom tags that will do this...

i need something that will NOT show a print dialogue box, so i need a solution other than using javascript to print... if anyone could help, that would be freakin' awesome!!

What exactly are you trying to print? HTML content?

what i'm trying to do (generally) is print some text that is dynamically generated thru cold fusion... for example, my page will have a button of some sort that, when I push it, it will print out something that has some text that is dynamically generated by a cold fusion script (like the date, and maybe some information from a sql query)... i need this to be done without having a print dialogue box shown because it will be used by a lot of people, and I don't want anybody messing with settings, etc...

I don't think you can do that through a browser. It would let any web developer force their visitors to print tons of crap.

This article may help. It describes a solution in ASP, but you could adapt it to ColdFusion.
