I have a MacBook that prints to a shared Windows 7 printer. Sometimes the Windows machine is asleep, and the Mac will just queue up its print requests. I recently created a script to send a wake-on-lan packet to a Windows 7 machine. This wakes up the Windows machine and printing starts. Great, but I think the system can be automated some.
Is it possible to have the MacBook run the wake-on-lan script everytime something is printed? Stated more generally, can I have the OS X print subsystem execute a script everytime something is printed?
Spiff — I downloaded Bonjour for Windows, but it appears to only allow Windows machines to find printers shared by Macs (not to share Windows printers for Macs to use). BTW, sorry for the delayed reply.
