i'd be greatful for any help here. i'm in need of two applescripts to solve what is a true rube goldberg solution. a friend was going to toss an 11x17 paintwriter xl in the trash that happened to work fine (of course no OS X drivers though). i could use it for architectural line drawings. he also had an old quadra 800 running 7.5. i had the bright idea of using the quadra as a "print server" for my g4. in other words - connect via ethernet the two machines. connect the paintwriter to the quadra. here is the trick. i produce a pdf that automatically gets copied to a folder on the quadra which in turn automatically triggers a script to print, then deletes itself. the files are indeed printing, now i want to automate the process.
i need two scripts;
1) an easy one that moves it from my g4 folder(and deletes it) to a folder on the quadra. the quadra drive will show on my g4 desktop.
2) a more difficult situation is on the 7.5 OS quadra. i don't know how to activate/attach a folder action here. i'd want to have it go to trash and then empty trash if possible.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
