>>I'll bite. What are you trying to do. I saw no difference with
option up or down.
In Printer Setup Utility, the only way you can get the Advanced option
from the drop-down menu is by either holding the option key and
clicking the Add.. button in the toolbar, or holding the option key
down and selecting "Add Printer..." from the Printers menu. I need
the Advanced menu because I need to add a Pharos Popup printer, and
for some reason, the popup installer makes it so it doesnt add it to
the normal list of options.
The program I am going to write is going to automatically add new
"popup" printers based on a list that will be stored on a remote
server. You just have to select a printer name from the list and it
will automatically do the rest to get the printer added.
The cleanest way (my opinion for now) to add this printer would be to
script the process of adding a printer. Unfortunately, I am stuck with
trying to get the Advanced menu to appear. Option click is just not
working for me.
>>you can try typing "" while holding option both before and after the
click and it might >>catch.
I am not sure what you mean here, can you explain more or give an
example? Below is the example script with key down option added.
activate application "Printer Setup Utility"
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Printer Setup Utility"
key down option
click menu item "Add Printer…" of menu "Printers" of menu bar item
"Printers" of menu bar 1
key up option
end tell
end tell
Thanks for the help everyone...
