    Automate Web Page Printing
    « on: August 26, 2011, 09:04:18 PM »
    I've been trying to find a way to use the windows task scheduler to open a web page
    and print it to a pdf writer.  I was hoping to run a dos batch file but only got as far
    as opening the web page. Anyone have any advice or alternatives?

      BC:

      This would be exactly what I need.

      I assume once I install the add-on, I treat the code as if it were DOS language and make it a batch file?

      Any word on whether this type of thing can be done in IE?

      Thanks!

      Is there any reason Firefox won't serve your purpose?
