Label Print Shell Command Error

If you ever receive the error message:

The file name “C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c type c:\temp\buffer.txt > LPT1" contains a character that may not be used. Please check the file name. You can find additional information on file names in the documentation for your operation system.

you are more than likely on a newer operating system – i.e. Vista. In the good old days where all computers had at least one parallel port and two serial ports, you could execute shell commands very easy. Nowadays, however, you have to pass the program and parameters separately.
