Getting the list of printers

[Chris Williams]

I'm relieved that Print Center is so AppleSciptable!

One thing, I cant get is the list of printers in the list. Strike that, I can get the list, but when I put it into Filemaker is comes out all in one line. How do I get the list with a rtn after each printer?

I'm going to go ahead and answer my own question.

The trick is using a repeating field. In this case, I have a FM Field "Printer List" with a round number of 10 repetitions. And this was the code I used in this case.

tell application "Print Center"

set printerlist to (name of printers as list)

end tell

tell application "FileMaker Pro"

set the cell "Printer List" of record 1 of database 1 to (printerlist as list)

end tell

end tell

Deja vu...
