Thanks for the suggestion. I changed the account to "Administrator" and
still got a timeout error with the following code.
<CFEXECUTE NAME="C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe"
ARGUMENTS="copy C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\CFDEV\barcode\zebra.txt LPT1"
TIMEOUT="5"></CFEXECUTE>
Any other suggestions???

"Local System Account" probably DOES NOT have the proper permissions. Try
(temporarily) setting ColdFusion to run as "Administrator" and see if that
solves your problem. If it does, then you'll want to create a "ColdFusion"
(or similar) account and set it up that way. I do NOT recommend running the
ColdFusion server as "Administrator" for obvious reasons... just as a test
to see if it's a permissions issue or not.
