Printing to two printers at one time

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Mac OS X
#1

Hi all

I want to have a folder watched for arriving PDF’s and then for the PDF printed to two printers. I have this working in OS9 but can’t seem to do the same in OSX. I am using 10.3.3javascript:emoticon(‘:D’)

Thanks for any help

Could you post your current solution so that maybe someone can get an idea of what is working?

But I think for your solution in OS X you will use a do shell script and use the LPR utility. Do a man lpr in terminal.

Edited:

The anwser is right here on this forum:

I have a desktop printer on hold which the application prints to and then have a script watch this desktop printer and do 1 copy and 1 move. This works fine because the desktop printer is treated as a folder, in OSX that isn’t so.
