Print selected files on Client side in CF

Is this possible? I'm very new to CF and I've done some searching, but have found very little info on this subject.

I have a page that list all the files that a user can download.
They check the checkboxes nexts to the file they want to download and hit submit...they receive their docs via email no problem.

Now the user is requesting would like a "print" checkbox next to the file and when they it the "send" button all files checked would go to their printer...I haven't a clue how to complish this....any ideas/code would be greatly appreciated...thx dmunsie

There's no way for CF (or any other application server) to do this. CF is a server product, it has no control over what happens on the client (for obvious security reasons). You can try to do something like this with Javascript but I am not sure if the print commands work for all browsers. You also could do this with a Java applet or ActiveX control, but you'd have to search the web for one that matched your requirements.
