Anyone know how to print on both sides with CF? Or know of a resource that I could check out that might have some examples?
 
On both sides... of a paper?

That'd be printer functionality... On top of that cf can't trigger a printer without a client scripting language..

Cf has nothing to do with your computer other than presenting a page to your browser.

I need to let user select a group of record then click on a form button that triggers the dynamic creation and printing of rtf documents. These documents need to be double-sided. If CF can't do it, could JavaScript? Need to something to tell the printer to print on both sides, b/c it will not always be set to do so. And how would I format my output so that it would print on both sides. Would I just add a page break and then print the second page on the back? This all needs to be automatic.

Is it possible?
 
nope. not gonna happen unless you write and install a client side object that has control over the printer.

you need to present the files to the user, the user needs to be informed that they should be printed duplex, and then they need to set up their printer for that.

there is java script that will automaticly bring up the print dialog box, but not set options or print.
