Prefab Player can be an invaluable tool in wrangling those script
resistant applications, or parts thereof.
Check it out.

Good Afternoon,
I'm trying to automate some print logging from a Fiery XJ print
spooler. The printer comes with a utility which can be used to
manually download the log of print jobs, and after that it's easy. The
problem is: I'd like to automate that download process.
I'd be very interested in ways people have found to solve this
problem. I suppose it might be possible to use some other scripting
method (QuickKeys?), or to circumvent the spooler utility and talk to
the spooler directly (it doesn't seem to use telnet, and the utility
appears to use Appletalk..._), perhaps there's another way? Generally
speaking, how do you (plural) usually deal with these unscriptable apps?
Any thoughts, suggestions, anecdotes, would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
