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.
