Last change on this file since a9e08a4 was a9e08a4, checked in by Evan Broder <broder@…>, 15 years ago

Instead of looping over the lpr commands within applescript, use a
backgrounded shell loop so that iTunes doesn't hang while the jobs are
printing.

(Since I'm not currently on campus, this is as yet untested.)

4This is a simple little script which sends
5music from an iTunes library to the sipbmp3
6lpr server.

8* Changelog
923 Aug 2009 -> broder spun loop into shell script instead of
10    applescript so that iTunes doesn't hang
119 Jan 2009 -> price added 'quoted form'
127 Jan 2009 -> kmill created initial version

14* System Requirements
15This script will only work under Mac OS X as
16it uses AppleScript.
17
18* Installation
19There are two parts:
20
211) Launch the Printer Setup Utility and add
22   an IP Printer with the LPD protocol with
23   the following information:
24    Address: zygorthian-space-raiders.mit.edu
25    Queue: sipbmp3
26   It is not necessary to specify the driver.
27
282) Create the directory ~/Library/iTunes/Scripts
29   and place the "Send to sipbmp3.scpt" file
30   within.
31
32* Usage
33When in iTunes, select the songs which you
34would like to hear in the office, and click
35"Send to sipbmp3" in the script menu from
36the menu bar.  The script menu looks like a
37little scroll icon.  There will be no
38feedback beyond the pleasant sounds you now
39hear around you.
40
41* Todo
42As it is, there is no feedback, even in the
43event of failure.  This is decidedly not
44optimal.
45
46* And so...
47Do whatever you want with it.  I'd like to
48have a copy if you extend it.
