----------------- iTunes -> gutenbach ----------------- This is a simple little script which sends music from an iTunes library to the gutenbach lpr server. * Changelog 29 Nov 2009 -> changed the name from sipbmp3 to gutenbach 23 Aug 2009 -> broder spun loop into shell script instead of applescript so that iTunes doesn't hang 9 Jan 2009 -> price added 'quoted form' 7 Jan 2009 -> kmill created initial version * System Requirements This script will only work under Mac OS X as it uses AppleScript. * Installation There are two parts: 1) Launch the Printer Setup Utility and add an IP Printer with the LPD protocol with the following information: Address: hostname Queue: gutenbach It is not necessary to specify the driver. *** Note that you MUST give the printer name as the same name as the queue, NOT the address (which it seems to default to). *** 2) Create the directory ~/Library/iTunes/Scripts and place the scripts you want within. 3) Edit those scripts such, replacing "hostname" with the hostname of your printer and "gutenbach" with the printername. * Usage When in iTunes, select the songs which you would like to hear in the office, and click the script you want from the script menu from the menu bar. The script menu looks like a little scroll icon. There will be no feedback beyond the pleasant sounds you now hear around you. * Todo As it is, there is no feedback, even in the event of failure. This is decidedly not optimal. * And so... Do whatever you want with it. I'd like to have a copy if you extend it. Kyle Miller kmill@mit.edu
