Printing photos from Hazel

Hi All

I am a relative newbie, having used Hazel before, but only for simple stuff.

I am setting up a couple of folders, one as an input and one as an output.

The input is running nicely, I take photos on my camera which is tethered by USB.
They go into an input watched folder, then Hazel calls a photoshop droplet, which pops on a watermark and saves the finished photo to the output file.

I would like to print the output file automatically.
So far, I can get automator to print it, but only as a 6x4, which automator seems to default too.

6x4 is good for a lot of the events I go to, but not all.

The other default size for my printer is 9x6 inches.

Anyhow, I can't seem to find an option to print the photo via Hazel and I wondered if anyone else had any advice.

I would appreciate it.

All the best.

Bruce Foster

You may need to use AppleScript to do that. Or a shellscript using the "lp" comand. You can set various options using that though you'll have to go through a bit of trial and error to work out which ones.
