Re: To drag a file as parameter to script

If I understand correctly, these files have already been processed
through the printer driver, and need to be spooled directly to the
printer.

I use a utility which, when installed, allows you to double-click a
file and send it directly to a printer. It was designed specifically
for native postscript files, to be sent to a postscript printer, but
it works to spool any file directly to a printer. You may be able to
get it to do what you want, or maybe use AutoIt with VBScript to do
any clicking of options or whatever when you drag the file to your
script. You can get info and download the free utility here:

Actually some documents are printed to .prn files. I know the way to
print
those .prn files by copying them to printers. I just want to know if
I can
develop a script with the copy command inside and let users drag and
drop the
.prn files to the script as prarameter, then they can get the
printout.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I want to development a script to print files to a print queue.
What I
want
to do is to drag and drop the file to this script and then the
script will
print this file to a specified print queue. Is it possible to do
this?

Probably. But since you could also drag-and-drop the files to a
shortcut to
the desired print queue (no scripting involved), I suspect that you
have
other requirements that you have not yet told us yet....
