Print from OS 9 to an OS X network printer via AppleScript
Authored by: pampa on Oct 15, '03 06:18:27AM

I have done similar but the other way arround and also had to have window open like billclyde. To get arround the compatibility I was printing as PDF on MacOS X machine and the droping it on the alias. Strangely tho, Retrospect was crashing on backup, weather I had the folder included in the backed catalogue or not. I have also tried it with two different printers, HP DW & Epson Stylus. Other than the problem with Retrospect, it was working fine but I had to give up. Anybody had similar problem?

Print from OS 9 to an OS X network printer via AppleScript
Authored by: markgill on Nov 28, '03 10:18:05AM

I want to print from OS X to OS 9 too. Is the AppleScript of OS 9.2 similar enough to that of OS X 10.2 that I can test the scripts in OS X and then deploy on OS 9? I usually do not have access to the OS 9 computer and, being a novice scripting, fear many rounds of debugging. What should I watch out for?
