Hi:
I'm a beginner scripter. I own a business and write my own
FileMaker management
software. I work in the Mac environment and have had great success with
FileMaker. I
recently purchased a DYMO LabelWriter Turbo printer to compliment my
program for
printing out receipts for cash paying customers. I need to make the
printing procedure from FileMaker a one button click so it's user
friendly. FileMaker needs an AppleScript put into
it's scripting area in order for this to work. I began by recording an
AppleScript, but can't get it to work. The LabelWriter is USB connected
and does not create it's own desktop printer.
This is what I've tried to do:
tell application "Finder"
activate
select file "Chooser" of folder "Apple Menu Items" of folder "System
Folder" of startup
disk
open selection
set printer to "LabelWriter Turbo"
quit "Chooser"
end tell
This does not work for some reason. I've been days with this trying to
find or write a script,
but have had no luck. I've already gone this route and had no luck (GTQ
Scripting Library
by Gregory T. Quinn.). You have to "set" the printer, then "name" it
then tell it what "zone".
The printer is connected via USB and not on a network. I'm lost. Please
help, or send me in
the right direction. Thanks.
