Hey guys,

Whats the easiest way to print a document via apple script?

I have a script that will get info about a mac and save it as a .txt file.

How would i tell it to print? The mac only has one printer added to it.

cheers

Tell some application to do it:


tell application "TextWrangler" to print alias ((path to desktop as text) & "aFileToPrint")
-- or
tell application "TextEdit" to print alias ((path to desktop as text) & "aFileToPrint")

And BTW, it doesn’t matter how many printers you have - it will print to the default printer set in the Printer Setup Utility (which is scriptable).
