Your solution could look something like this:
The address could be done in a neater way, but I'm getting tired,
and I'm sure someone else can work out a general way of getting the
address of the printer.
tell application "Printer Setup Utility"
set currentPrinter to "Macintosh
HD:Users:peterba:Library:Printers:" & name of current printer & ".app"
get status of current printer
try
if status of current printer is not (idle) then
my activatePrinter
set status of current printer to idle
end if
end try
end tell
I do not think this would work.
"status" is read only.
May be this could be accomplished via CUPS, by going to CUPS with
Safari and trying to perform the operation there.
I have not tried this. If I'll do it later, I'll post the results here.
on activatePrinter()
tell application currentPrinter
activate
end tell
end activatePrinter
Yours sincerely,
