This command doesn't exist on my machine. It's not a standard part of windows. Just to check though, are you 64-bit windows, and 32 or 64 bit python? (To find out what kind of windows, go to the system control panel - to find out if python is 64-bit look at the value of sys.maxsize, it's 2147483647 on 32-bit systems and 9223372036854775807 on 64-bit) > Any ideas? > > I am using subprocess as follows > > process = subprocess.Popen(commandline, shell=True, > stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE) > > where command line is > C:/windows/system32/lpr.exe -S 172.28.84.38 -P RAW C:/john/myfile If all you want to do is print a text file, see http://www.robvanderwoude.com/printfiles.php - these commands may not let you do whatever you're trying to do with that IP address though.
