I don't know if MenuEvents still works with current systems, but it's
at least a potential way to get some control over non-scriptable apps.

And the companion MenuGrabber is pretty slick...
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.
