How do I approach this problem?
I want to watch a desktop folder and send any addition straight to the printer. Thanks for any ideas.

What about the privacy of the desktops owner? Sounds like sniffing :?

Something simple like this?

Code:
; Directory to watch
WatchDir = C:\Temp

; build initial file list
PrevFileList = `n ; Initialize
Loop, %WatchDir%\*.*
    PrevFileList = %PrevFileList%%A_LoopFileName%`n
; msgbox,%PrevFileList% ; uncomment to see existing files

Loop
{
   ; Check new files
   NewFileList = `n ; Initialize
   Loop, %WatchDir%\*.*
   {
      NewFileList = %NewFileList%%A_LoopFileName%`n
      IfNotInString, PrevFileList, %A_LoopFileName%
         msgbox,%WatchDir%\%A_LoopFileName% ; or something like: Run, print %WatchDir%\%A_LoopFileName%
   }
   PrevFileList = %NewFileList%
   Sleep, 5000 ; time (ms)between check for new file
}

In regards to sniffing...this is simply an automation, no sniffing involved.
I added the following changes, seems to be no-worky.

WatchDir = C:\C:\Documents and Settings\KIP\Desktop\test


PrevFileList = `n
Loop, %WatchDir%\*.*
PrevFileList = %PrevFileList%%A_LoopFileName%`n


Loop
{
NewFileList = `n
Loop, %WatchDir%\*.*
{
NewFileList = %NewFileList%%A_LoopFileName%`n
IfNotInString, PrevFileList, %A_LoopFileName%
Run, print %WatchDir%\%A_LoopFileName%
}
PrevFileList = %NewFileList%

You might want to put that sleep back in or it will eat resources :)
Code:
WatchDir = C:\C:\Documents and Settings\KIP\Desktop\test
Slight Problem here

Code:
}
PrevFileList = %NewFileList%
} ;Put me back

Forgot to add `n rond the filename so a name partial matching would not be missed (there was a reason i started with a `n).
Code:
      IfNotInString, PrevFileList, `n%A_LoopFileName%`n
