Re: [Digital BW] Autoprinting on Mac

2004-11-16 by Dave Tevis

Ken,

That site was perfect. Not for the IPhoto stuff but the enable photoshop 
scripting. After loading the PS scripting capablities... which does not come 
with when you buy PS... you can't "print" straight through a script but you can 
run a ps action! Thats perfect... I can create an action to open and print a file in 
PS! So... auto start the mac through prefences > run a script on startup that will 
launch PS and run an action that contains the print file comand. Thanks so 
much for the help.

Any other ideas?

Dave
