How to use applescript to hit enter on system printing dialog box?


I want to print chrome windows automatically (no dialogs) if they fit some sort of URL pattern (e.g. are not of a given set of URLs).

Can you use apple script for that? Could someone share an example? (I do not own a mac so I can't really experiment myself)


Solution

  • set i to 1
    tell application "Google Chrome"
        activate
        tell window 1
            repeat with t in tabs
                --if title of t starts with "Example" then
                if {"http://example.com/", "http://aa.com/"} does not contain URL of t then
                    set active tab index to i
                    tell t to print
                    delay 1
                    tell application "System Events"
                        click button "Print" of window 1 of process "Chrome"
                        --keystroke return
                    end tell
                end if
                set i to i + 1
            end repeat
        end tell
    end tell
