Are you looking for a way to automate the printing of files from a folder? If so, then you may be able to use a script to do this.
There are a few different ways that you can go about printing files from a folder. One way is to use the print command in Windows. Another way is to use a script.
If you want to use the print command, then you will need to open the Command Prompt and type in the following command:
print /d:\\ servername\printername /f “folder path”
You will need to replace “servername” with the name of the server that you want to print to and “printername” with the name of the printer. You will also need to replace “folder path” with the path to the folder that contains the files that you want to print.
If you want to use a script, then you can use a VBScript or a PowerShell script.
To use a VBScript, you will need to create a file called print.vbs and copy the following code into it:
Dim objFSO, objFolder, objFile
Set objFSO = CreateObject(“Scripting.FileSystemObject”)
Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(“folder path”)
For Each objFile In objFolder.Files
If LCase(Right(objFile.Name, 3)) = “pdf” Then
Set objShell = CreateObject(“Shell.Application”)
objShell.ShellExecute “AcroRd32.exe”, “/p /h “”” & objFile.Path & “”””, “”, “open”, 1
End If
Next
You will need to replace “folder path” with the path to the folder that contains the files that you want to print.
To use a PowerShell script, you will need to create a file called print.ps1 and copy the following code into it:
Get-ChildItem “folder path” | ForEach-Object {
if ($_.Extension -eq “.pdf”) {
Start-Process -FilePath “AcroRd32.exe” -ArgumentList “/p /h `”$($_.FullName)`”” -Wait
}
}
You will need to replace “folder path” with the path to the folder that contains the files that you want to print.
Once you have created the file, you will need to open a PowerShell window and navigate to the folder where the file is located. You will then need to type .\print.ps1 and press Enter.
You can also use a script to print files from a folder on a Mac.
To do this, you will need to create a file called print.sh and
