Using Applescript to print calendars in MS Outlook
I print my daily in portrait orientation, with the task list. I like to print my weekly calendar in landscape orientation, without the task list.
I'm new to Applescript and have been poking around in the Outlook library but can't find anything there that indicates how to even just print Calendars using Applescript.
Is there a way to change the page setup to landscape orientation, then print the weekly format (without tasks) and the reset the print orientation to portrait?
Thanks in advance-

Mac OS 10.6.8
You mention using AS to set the preset. Do you know how to do that?
I'm trying to find out how to use a print preset in Applescript on 10.6.7. The only things I've found on the internet suggest running a terminal command that changes the preset, but they are talking about 10.4 and it doesn't work in 10.6. I can't find the answer to this anywhere. It seems like it should be rather simple.

How to use Applescript to print out a certain calendar at 7am every morning?
Hey guys,
I am trying to use AppleScript to print out one of my calendars each day at 7am every morning.
I have come up with this so far:
tell application "Calendar"
view calendar "My Appointments" at (my (current date))
switch view to day view
activate
tell application "System Events"
keystroke "p" using command down
delay 1 -- (seconds)
tell process "Calendar"
tell window "Print"
if value of checkbox "Calendar Keys" is not 0 then
click checkbox "Calendar Keys"
end if
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
The problem with this is that it will print out whatever calendars are currently viewable. I can't figure out how to tell it to deselect other calendars and just select the one I want. I also want to tell it to print this out at 7am every morning.
Any help would be very appreciated!If you wanted to do the printout over multiple days, you would be best to loop through each day's events in the way the current script does, but to put a new loop around it that gets each new day's data:
--opens a temporary file
set fileRef to open for access ((path to desktop) as string) & "meetings.txt" with write permission
--effectively empties the file
set eof fileRef to 0
tell application "Calendar"
set dayCount to 9 --this will be the number of days to look forward (not including today)
repeat with currentDay from 0 to dayCount
set startList to {}
--get's today's date
--set startRange to ((current date) + 12 * days) -- I used this for testing, to point to a day that had many appointments. I've left it so you can use it, too.
set startRange to ((current date) + (currentDay * days))
--set the start of the range to previous midnight
set hours of startRange to 0
set minutes of startRange to 0
set seconds of startRange to 0
--set end of the range to next midnight
set endRange to (startRange + 1 * days)
--get today's events
set todaysEvents to get (events of calendar "My Appointments" whose (start date is greater than startRange) and (end date is less than endRange))
--make a new list with start time of the event for sort purposes
repeat with theEvent in todaysEvents
set end of startList to {startdate:start date of theEvent, eventID:theEvent}
end repeat
--sort using a bubble sort (suitable for short lists)
repeat with i from 1 to (count of startList) - 1
repeat with j from i + 1 to count of startList
if startdate of item j of startList < startdate of item i of startList then
set temp to item i of startList
set item i of startList to item j of startList
set item j of startList to temp
end if
end repeat
end repeat
--empty the original list
set todaysEvents to {}
--repopulate the list in correct chronological order
repeat with theEvent in startList
set end of todaysEvents to eventID of theEvent
end repeat
--write today's date to the file
write (date string of startRange & return & return) to fileRef
--if there are no events, write this to the file as well
if length of todaysEvents is 0 then
write "No events" & return & return to fileRef
else
--process each event into format: hh:mm-hh:mm/new line/event summary
repeat with theEvent in todaysEvents
set startdate to start date of theEvent
set enddate to end date of theEvent
set startHours to hours of startdate as string
if length of startHours is 1 then set startHours to "0" & startHours
set startMins to minutes of startdate as string
if length of startMins is 1 then set startMins to "0" & startMins
set starttime to startHours & ":" & startMins
set endHours to hours of enddate as string
if length of endHours is 1 then set endHours to "0" & endHours
set endMins to minutes of enddate as string
if length of endMins is 1 then set endMins to "0" & endMins
set endTime to endHours & ":" & endMins
--write the event to the file
set theSummary to (starttime & "-" & endTime & return & summary of theEvent & return & return) as string
write theSummary to fileRef
end repeat
end if
write return to fileRef
end repeat
end tell
--close the file
close access fileRef
--print the file
set theFile to (((path to desktop) as text) & "meetings.txt") as alias
tell application "TextEdit"

I'm working in AppleScript Editor v2.6.1 (152.1), Microsoft Outlook 2011 v14.3.5, OSX 10.9.4 Mavericks.Ok, red_menace above me had a shorter and more elegant solution to the question, I'm adding this just for another example.
To solve your problem I'd make a mail rule that looked for any messages with "Filename:" in them (along with whatever criteria you wanted, like sender, domain, etc). The mail rule would execute the Applescript. My assumption is that the "Filename:foobar" text could be anywhere in the email, not necessarily the first thing in a paragraph, so I had to parse it differently.
The results end up in a datalist, (theFilename {} ) that you can parse later to collect all filenames found in whatever messages were processed.
I realize this could be cleaner, hope it's not hard to follow, but I did it really fast. It works flawlessly for me, picking out the name of the file no matter where in the email it appears.

Using applescript to print from printers other than the default
Hi
I have this script to print from Quark which works fine:
tell application "QuarkXPress"
tell print setup of document 1
set separation to false
set printer type to "HP Laserjet 8150 Series"
set paper size to "A3"
set orientation to portrait
set bleed to "3"
set page position to center horizontal
set print spreads to false
set reduce or enlarge to "100%"
set registration marks to centered
set tiling to off
end tell
print document 1
end tell
It works fine but if I change my default printer to something else eg. our canon colour printer, then the document prints from there instead.
If anyone can help it would be much appreciated
Kind Regards
AndrewThanx Nova Scotian..
Didnt quite work but i got this from another forum which did in case your interested:
tell application "Printer Setup Utility"
set the visible of every window to false
if printer "ExactPrinterName" exists then set current printer to printer "ExactPrinterName"
get current printer -- debugging
if (current printer is not "ExactPrinterName") then display dialog "Please setup your 'ExactPrinterName'!!"
quit
end tell
Of course, ExactPrinterName is the name of the printer you WANT to use as it exists in the Printer Setup list.

How to filter Outlook for Mac calendar events by category using AppleScript
Hi all --
I'm trying to write an Applescript on OSX to filter Outlook for Mac 2011 calendar events based on event categories, e.g. find all events tagged as "Conference". For example, I have a calendar event named "WWDC" that is found by the following script:
tell application "Microsoft Outlook"
set theCategoryConference to first category whose name is "Conference"
set theConferenceList to every calendar event whose (subject is "WWDC")
display dialog "There were " & (count of theConferenceList) & " Conferences."
set theEvent to item 1 of items of theConferenceList
display dialog "Categories contains conference: " & (categories of theEvent contains {theCategoryConference})
end tell
The above finds 1 event, and the final line displays "true" as this event has been tagged with the Conference category.
However what I really want to do is find all such events. The following fails to match any events:
set theConferenceList to every calendar event whose categories contains {theCategoryConference}
ThIs seems to me like it should work, but returns 0 matching events. Is there a different syntax to use, or is this a limitation of Outlook for Mac that perhaps doesn't allow filtering events based on a nested collection (the categories attribute on calendar event objects)?
Thanks!
RamonHello
I don't have Outlook 2011 but only guess here.
Generally speaking, AppleScript's "whose" filter is very limited and does not support list containment test. So perhaps you'd have to resort to something like the following script, which actually scans the events for test.
tell application "Microsoft Outlook"
my events_with_categories({category "Conference"})
end tell
on events_with_categories(cats)
list cats : list of categories to be matched
return list : list of calendar events whose categories contain every item of cats
script o
property ee : {}
property cc : {}
tell application "Microsoft Outlook"
set ee to calendar events
repeat with e in my ee
set e to e's contents
set cc to e's categories
set _match to true
repeat with c in cats
set c to c's contents
if c is not in my cc then
set _match to false
exit repeat
end if
end repeat
if _match then set end of my ee to e
end repeat
return my ee's contents
end tell
end script
tell o to run
end events_with_categories
Notes.
* Script is not tested.
* IF this works but is too slow, we may try to speed it up by retrieving categories of events (list of lists) in one statement, by which we can dramatically reduce the total number of Apple Events to send.
Good luck,

I am using the big date calendar template in iPhoto. I am on Lion 10.7.2, macbook air. The names of the months are on each calendar page but something happens when I send the data to Apple. The names are part of the template. They are not text boxes. I lose two names on the calendar after it is sent to Apple. Apple suggested I make a pdf file of my calendar before sending it in and check to make sure every name shows. I did this with a calendar I just sent in. The calendar was correct. All names of the months were showing. After sending the data two month names disappeard because when it arrived by mail, it was incorrect. Apple looked at my calendar via a pdf file and it was incorrect. This is second time this has happened. I called Apple and they had me delete several folders in the Library folder, some preferences and do a complete reinstall of iPhoto. I have not yet remade the defective calendar. I am wondering if anyone else has had this problem?
kathyControl-click on the background of the view all pages window and select "Preview Calendar" from the contextual menu.
You can also save the pdf as a file to compare to the printed calendar. If the two names are visible in the pdf file then the printed copy should show them. Contact Apple for a refund. Apple Print Products - Apple Store (U.S.) -
I use Win 7 PC with iCloud and Outlook 2010 for syncing my Contacts and Calendar. They have stopped syncing...mostly.
Now, appointments I enter on my local Outlook (iCloud) Calendar goes up to iCloud fine. But, data I enter on iCloud directly does not come down to my local Outlook iCloud Calendar. If I reboot the computer, the iCloud data shows up.
Also, Contacts I try to enter on my Outlook (iCloud) Contacts goes up to iCloud fine, but does not show up in my local iCloud Contacts.
All syncing works with my iPhone.
I have signed out of iCloud on PC. I have stopped syncing and re-started. No change.
I have an .aplzod folder for iCloud. I have a separate Earthlink.net.pst email account in Outlook and a me.com.pst Outlook email account (which I don't actually use) listed under Data Files.
Any help would be appreciated. Curious that Outlook will upload to iCloud but not receive downloads unless I reboot. However, rebooting does not download the missing Contacts.
Jim RobbinsHi Jim!
You've started off with some good troubleshooting steps, so let's see if we can take this a little further and figure out what the issue is with your iCloud contacts and calendars. I have two articles here that will help you troubleshoot this issue a little further, but the troubleshooting steps for both articles are exactly the same, so I will lay those out for you here:
Note: When using iCloud Control Panel 2.0 and later, iCloud Calendar event descriptions in Outlook 2010 do not support text formatting (bold, italics, or underline), HTML, images, or attachments. The contextual (right-click) menu has also been disabled.
If you are having trouble with a PC (with Outlook 2007 or 2010) and iCloud Calendar, try each of these steps, testing after each to see if the issue is resolved:
Verify that you are using a Windows configuration that is supported by iCloud. For more information, see iCloud system requirements.
When enabling Calendars in the iCloud Control Panel, part of the setup process is to copy your Calendars data from the default Outlook ".pst" file to iCloud, and then remove the Calendars from the ".pst" file by placing them in the Deleted Items folder in Outlook. The Calendars data is then stored in the iCloud data set within Outlook so that changes can be pushed to and from Outlook by iCloud. Be sure you are looking for your data within the iCloud dataset within Outlook after enabling Calendars in the iCloud Control Panel. The deleted files can be seen by viewing Deleted Items within your Outlook Folder List. This is not iCloud removing your data; iCloud simply copies your data into the iCloud data set and then removes the local Calendars data by placing it in the Deleted Items folder.
Make sure your computer is online. Attempt to view www.apple.com and iCloud.com. If you can't connect to the Internet, your iCloud calendars and events will not update in Outlook. Click here for more information about troubleshooting your Internet connection.
Open a secure website to test if you are online as is necessary for iCloud Calendar. This also tests if the ports 80 and 443 are accessible. Outlook requires port 443 access to iCloud in order to push and pull updates to and from the iCloud Calendar servers.
Verify that your iCloud member name is entered into the iCloud Control Panel pane. See iCloud Setup for more information about setting up iCloud on Windows.
Completely close and reopen the iCloud Control Panel.
If you recently made changes in Outlook and they are not moving to your other devices or vice-versa, click the Refresh button in Outlook.
Turn iCloud Calendar off and back on:
Close Outlook.
Open the Windows Control Panel:
In Windows 8, move the pointer to the upper-right corner of the screen to show the Charms bar, click the Search charm, and then click the iCloud Control Panel on the left.
In Windows 7 and Vista, choose Start menu > All Programs > iCloud > iCloud.
Remove the checkmark in the checkbox next to Mail, Contacts, Calendars & Tasks, and click Apply. Wait a few seconds, then replace the checkmark, and click Apply.
Open Outlook and test to see if the issue has been resolved.
Ensure the iCloud Outlook Add-in is active within Outlook.
Outlook 2010:
Open Outlook 2010.
Click the File menu.
Click Options in the left panel of the Outlook window.
Click Add-Ins in the left panel of the Outlook Options window.
Look at the list of add-ins beneath "Active Application Add-Ins" and verify that the "iCloud Outlook Add-in" is listed.
For Outlook 2007, follow these steps to verify the iCloud Outlook Add-in is active
Open Outlook 2007.
From the Tools menu, choose Trust Center.
Select Add-ins from the left column.
Look at the list of add-ins beneath "Active Application Add-Ins" and verify that the "iCloud Outlook Add-in" is listed.
For additional information about managing Add-ins with Microsoft Outlook, see this Microsoft support document.
Restart your computer. This may sound simple, but it does reinitialize your network and application settings and can frequently resolve issues.

I use Windows Vista and Microsoft Outlook. After migrating to iCloud, the calendar of iCloud tranferred only part of my past Calendar items to the folder iCloud Calendar in my Outlook. How can I transfer all the entries? In iCloud's site all are there.
If the calendar is on iCoud.com, all you would need to do to get it on your phone is go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, sign into your iCoud account and turn Calendars on. The iCloud calendars will then download to your phone.

ICal and subscribed calendars with MobileMe using AppleScript
I am having the same problem as many of you; I have a MobileMe account which does not sync the calendars I have in iCal that are subscriptions. I found this great script online which I'll post below. I don't know anything about AppleScript so I'm just copy-pasting. I want it to work, but I'm getting the error "The variable theOldEvent is not defined." right around the line "if similar_found is true then set theOldSummary to the summary of theOldEvent" kinda near the middle. Like I said, I don't know anything about AppleScript. So my question is; how can I fix this error and/or is there some better way of using AppleScript/Automator to do this same thing? Thanks!

Printing from Photoshop using AppleScript
I am working on a project that will automatically print an image that is moved to a folder.
Right now, I have the following working: the image from my camera saves to a folder on my desktop, then applescript opens the image in Photoshop and runs an action on it that resizes it, crops it, and then re-saves it into a different folder. Here's where my problem starts...
My printer - an Epson R800 - does not have a default paper size of 5x7 borderless. That selection has to be made in Photoshop, however, Photoshop actions will not capture paper settings. (Which I think is sooooo stupid, but that's another issue.)
When the image is dropped in the second folder, it currently automatically prints, but on "letter" size paper.
I need to script the following:
Tell Photoshop CS4 to open the image (well, I can do that), but then select the correct paper size (5x7 borderless), and print. I've tried a few different things and they aren't working.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,

Setting options in "Printer" section using Applescript InDesign CS
How can i set define supplementary options found in the "Printer" section of the InDesign dialog box in a print preset using Applescript?
I would like my script to set duplex option with the proper binding, according to the page orientation.
When creating print presets manually, these extra options are stored in the print preset, but I can't find how to access them thru Applescript.
Thanks,
PeterShane,
Thanks for your reply, but it is not yet clear to me.
I know you can set some print properties in the Apple Print event, such as copies, collating, target printer ...but how can I adress the printer-specific options, such as duplex printing? Could you give me a sample line of code?
And next step, how can I include this "Apple -print" setting in an InDesign Print preset using Applescript? I suppose I have to set the apple printer prefs before creating the InDesign preset. Right?
Thanks in advance,
Peter -

Why does the iCloud Control Panel say "Install Outlook to use Mail, Contacts, and Calendars?"
I've just successfully installed the iCloud Control Panel on my PC (runs with Vista). Why does the iCloud Control Panel say "Install Outlook to use Mail, Contacts, and Calendars?" The Bookmarks (with Safari) and Photo Stream options are active, but the Mail (with Outlook), Contacts (with Outlook),and Calendars and Tasks (with Outlook) are not. I'm using Office Outlook 2007. I used to be able to synch my iPhone with my PC's Outlook through iTunes without any problems. Any help would be appreciated.
I meant to say when in the control panel!

Cannot print .pdf attachments in Outlook 2010 on local usb printer using the lastest Adobe Reader
We can't print pdf attachments from Outlook 2010 on a users local printer via usb with the latest Adobe Reader but it can print to a network copier. We can print from the local printer emails, webpages, regular pdf's on the hard drive.
Please advise and thanks.What is the behavior that you are seeing? Are you getting some error or is it simply failing to print with Reader 10.1.2.

When doing a quick print with a right click on the pdf attachment, it will print.
Also, please let me know that if a simple Right Click > Print operation is working, then what exactly is the operation that is failing. -
Print calendar in SharePoint 2013
Hi,
I am trying to create print option for the calendar day view.I used the below code to show the print preview.
<input onclick="javascript:void(printwebpart('WebPartWPQ2'))" type="button" value="Print Web Part 2"/>
<script type="text/javascript">
function printwebpart(webpartid)
var WebPartElementID = webpartid;
alert("ID="+WebPartElementID);
var bolWebPartFound = false;
if (document.getElementById != null)
//Create html to print in new window
var PrintingHTML = '\n\n';
//Take data from Head Tag
if (document.getElementsByTagName != null)
var HeadData= document.getElementsByTagName("HEAD");
if (HeadData.length > 0)
PrintingHTML += HeadData[0].innerHTML;
PrintingHTML += '\n\n\n';
var WebPartData = document.getElementById(WebPartElementID);
if (WebPartData != null)
PrintingHTML += WebPartData.innerHTML;
bolWebPartFound = true;
else
{ bolWebPartFound = false; alert ('Cannot Find Web Part'); } } PrintingHTML += '\n\n';
//Open new window to print
if (bolWebPartFound)
var PrintingWindow = window.open("","PrintWebPart", "toolbar,width=800,height=600,scrollbars,resizable,menubar");
PrintingWindow.document.open(); PrintingWindow.document.write(PrintingHTML);
// Open Print Window
PrintingWindow.print(); }
</script>By clicking the print button,I am getting the print window.But in print preview dialogue,events are not showing in the right place.below screenshot shows the difference in showing the events.Before print
print preview
Please help.
Thank you.Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to be able to print the Day view of a Calendar List in SharePoint 2013.
I also test the code above in my environment, and the result is the same as yours.
In the print preview dialogue, the events are not showing in the right place as they are in the Calendar list’s Day view.
As a workaround, I recommend that you can try to follow the steps as below to import the Calendar List into the Outlook 2013 and print the same format as Outlook calendars.
1. Open this Calendar List in your site, click on the “Connect to Outlook” under the “Calendar” tab.
2. Click “Allow” to confirm that you want to allow the SharePoint website to open Outlook on your computer. Outlook automatically opens.
3. Click “Yes” to confirm that you want the SharePoint calendar to connect to Outlook. The SharePoint Calendar automatically appears in Outlook under “Other Calendars”.
4. Click “Other Calendars” in the navigation pane in the left side of the window. Click the SharePoint Calendar to open it.
5. Go to the “File” tab, click “Print”, select “Daily Style” under the “Settings” to print the Day view of this SharePoint Calendar.
6. Click “Print Options”, select the specific “Page range” and “Print range” based on your need, click “Print” after selecting your options to print the SharePoint Calendar.
