Couple of points and questions on this. Firstly, have you tried using CFX_ShellExec tag? I've been using this since cf4.01 due to various shortcomings of cfexecute's implementation over the years.
Secondly. Do you need any particular type of printer to support this direct printing method? I just tried the copy file LPT1 command on a machine here with a little epson inkjet printer. The printer busy lights begin to flash but nothing actually gets printed. Do you need a good networkable laser printer which can support direct file dumps? I want to use this technique in our systems for invoicing and much more.

Here is the link that talks about it. 2 issues: CF MX always waits for the entire period specified in the timeout instead of the shortest of the timeout and the process finishing (but you still haven't told us which version/OS/servicepack you use). Every version of CF will wait forever on your specific code because if you call cmd.exe you need the /c parameter. > I read somewhere that Macromedia has no current plans to fix it so > that's not a good sign. http://www.macromedia.com/support/email/wishform/?6213=3 Jochem ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists&body=lists/cf_talk FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com
