Automate Print Dialog with AppleScript in Lion - Checkbox Problem

Try this:

tell application "iCal"

view calendarat (my (current date))

switch viewtoday view

activate

tell application "System Events"

keystroke "p" usingcommand down

delay 1 -- (seconds)

tell process "iCal"

tell window "Print"

if value of checkbox "Calendar Keys" is not 0 then

click checkbox "Calendar Keys"

end if

end tell

end tell

end tell

end tell

I know it's been a while since this thead but I'm so dull with scripting and stuff — do you have an update to this script. I think there have been changes since 2011, it's no longer iCal but Calendar and additionally their might another window to process in the script (I hope I'm saying that all right) and was wondering if you might a fix for this. It woudl GREATLY appreciated.

Best regards 🙂

it pretty much works as Pierre wrote it:

tell application "Calendar"

activate

view calendar at (my (current date))

switch view to day view

tell application "System Events"

keystroke "p" using command down

delay 1 -- (seconds)

tell process "Calendar"

tell window "Print"

if value of checkbox "Calendar Keys" is not 0 then

click checkbox "Calendar Keys"

end if

end tell

end tell

end tell

end tell

Thank you so much. I'm now just getting to this (oy!). So sorry for the delay of thanks! But it seems to stop at at these windows; the only things left that need to happen is that the "Continue" button needs to be clicked and then, in the next window that comes up, "Print" needs to be clicked. If you can help at all in anyway, I (and my life, lol) would be extremely, extremely grateful.

The following script seems to do the trick, although you must wait several seconds before the "Print" button is finally clicked.

tell application "Calendar"

view calendarat (my (current date))

switch viewtoweek view-- day, week or month view

activate

tell application "System Events"

keystroke "p" using command down

tell process "Calendar"

repeat until exists window "Print"

delay 0.1

end repeat

tell window "Print"

click button "Continue"

repeat until exists button "Print"

delay 0.1

end repeat

click button "Print"

end tell

end tell

end tell

end tell
