I'm running cfmx and am wondering if its possible to create a coldfusion application that would print to possibly a networked printer located on the server side.

 
Make a DOS Batch file or windows executable to print from, and use cfexecute to run run it... and it should be possible.

If your CF server is Linux/Unix based this could be as simple as a call to lpr.

Note, that anything going into a cfexecute has to be sanitized of anything evil or bad or your server could be rooted.
