I am trying to automate something.

I have a need to print many files at once. I would like to select the files, and then using the program, print each one.

Code:

Loop, %selectedFiles%
{
          Run, %selectedFiles%
          WinWait, APPNAME ;<---Change this to the name of the window that you see using the AutoIt Windows Spy
          Send, ^p
          Sleep, 1000
          WinClose, APPNAME
}


Any help you can give me would be really appreciated.
thanks

Sorry.. from explorer in windows xp

here is what I have but its not working..

Code:

#NoEnv ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
SendMode Input ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.

^l::
  WinGetClass explorerClass, A
  ControlGetText currentPath, Edit1, ahk_class %explorerClass%
;  msgbox >%currentPath%<
  ControlGet, selectedFiles, List, Selected Col1, SysListView321,ahk_class %explorerClass%
  msgbox %selectedFiles%
  Loop, Parse, selectedFiles, `n  ; Rows are delimited by linefeeds (`n).
  {
;msgbox >%currentPath%\%file%<
;          Run, %A_LoopFileFullPath%
          Run, %currentPath%\%file%
   Run print %selectedFiles%
;          WinWait, EditPad Lite ;<---Change this to the name of the window that you see using the AutoIt Windows Spy
;          Send, ^p
          Sleep, 1000
}
return

that works for .txt files... however, for a specific extension .STL it says:
no application is associated with the specified file for this operation

but when i double click the .stl file, it opens right up..

thanks almost there Smile

Can ur STL file print without opening the file?
for example, txt and images can do this directly while Word doc need to open up first then print
