OK, well maybe it's not a challenge maybe it asking if someone has done
this already:
Goal: have a faceless metacard/revolution process running on a OSX
server that will check a directory for files (deposited there by an
email server), on a timed interval, if files are found, format these
to letter size in a particular font and print to a specific networked
printer in another office on the LAN.
I think i could set this up with an open stack in the GUI, but don't
know how to script to choose a specific printer without having
previously selected that printer as the default printer for the whole
server. Use of a "page set up" request... returns a system dialog
box... but this has to run without human interaction i.e. need to be
able to poke, by script, the values that are usually entered from the
system print set up dialog box.
Can do?
