Hi there,

I have a publisher file that I want to print. I need a
lot of copies, so I want to print it after the users have
gone home for the day. How can I schedule a time for this
print job to start printing? I have created a schedule
task to open the publisher file, but I can't get it to
print automatically. Is there some command line options I
can add that will send it directly to my default printer?

Thanks,
D. Webb
 
You could try something along this lines:

echo file.txt > lpt1:

I don;t think that this is the exact answer, but it might be a starter, and,
as knowone else has replyed!

Try this, open a folder, Tools, Folder Options, File types, Scroll down
to Publisher type, select it, click advanced and then select Print and
Edit. There are the "print settings". I suspect that you may have to
mess with it to get it to fly. Another possibility is "AutoIt", just do
a search on www.google.com for that.
 
Ok. Thank you. I found "AutoIt" and will give that a
try. That sounds like the best solution.

Thank you,
