  • Downloading a PS file to HP1200

    From older one@foo@foobar.com to comp.sys.mac.system on Saturday, July 05, 2003 18:25:28

    I have some corrected tax returns - output as PS files, PDF not being an option - that I want to ldownload to my HP1200.

    Once you could drop them on the PrintCenter status window. Now it asks
    for an application to print the file.

    Anyone know of a 10.2.X tool for downloading these files to the printer?
    Or do i have to attach it to my PC?

    I should also have added the following URL to my previous post:

    http://www.apple.com/applescript/print/

    This is the opening paragraph from the article:

    In Mac OS X it is easy to save a document as a PDF file by simply
    opening the Print dialog and clicking the Save As PDF button.
    With the release of Mac OS X version 10.2.4, you now have the option to
    process the saved PDF file with AppleScript scripts
    that can perform a variety of tasks such as adding the saved file to a compressed archive, or including the PDF in an outgoing email message.

    From the Terminal.app enter:
    lpr -l -P <destination printer name> <fileName>
    where <destination printer name> is the name assigned to your printer and <fileName> is the name of the file(s) you want to send to the printer.
