What happens if you use the same command from a command line on the SAS application server: lp -d HP_4700_GH -onb? Do you get the same error? This is a permission problem with your user account on the SAS application server so you should talk to your server administrator to fix it.

Looks like your server has set NOXCMD option.

Use one of these commands to see your current settings.

%put sysfunc(getoption(xcmd));
proc options option=xcmd; run;

If it is off then you need to talk to your SAS administrator.

I'm slightly confused. 

To create a PDF file can you use ODS PDF with a path to a folder that you have access rights?
