 |
|
Hello forum,
I would like to improve this script:
| Code: | #Persistent
SetTimer, printswitch, 5000
return
printswitch:
SetTitleMatchMode, 2
IfWinActive, Purolator,
Run, RUNDLL32 PRINTUI.DLL `,PrintUIEntry /y /n "Lexmark Optra T610 PS"
IfWinActive, Create Shipment,
Run, RUNDLL32 PRINTUI.DLL `,PrintUIEntry /y /n "BOCACAN"
IfWinNotExist, Create Shipment,
Run, RUNDLL32 PRINTUI.DLL `,PrintUIEntry /y /n "Lexmark Optra T610 PS"
return
!f10::Reload |
The problem is that is that at every so many given seconds it runs rundll32 and sets Lexmark as the default printer. But I would like to know how to change this script so that if Lexmark is already the default printer, the script won't run this line again:
Run, RUNDLL32 PRINTUI.DLL `,PrintUIEntry /y /n "Lexmark Optra T610 PS"
Where is that information stored? I assume somewhere in the registry but I never did anything with Autohotkey and registry before. So I could you some help
