Re: PrintFilePrinter rewritten



Dear Edward
I have managed to get a sightly earlier version (I have not tried the latest) working by assigning a directory to watch that contains no files. That appears to have been the issue preventing it working with my system.

Kari and others,

I've rewritten this system to use a much simpler and more reliable
method of monitoring a watched folder, and I think I fixed the problem
that was preventing printing on Paul's system.

Kari, you should, I think, be able to use it in any folder, but it will
warn you the first time if the folder has a lot of files in it. It will
also warn you if, when you start it up, it will delete some files
already in the folder.

Again, not fully tested, but everything I tried seemed to work, and some
longstanding problems are gone. Paul, I think this may work on your
system, but I'll understand if you've spent enough time on it already.
