Task Scheduler
hi Ru4u0fm2 check below.
hi Ru4u0fm2 check below. it should work. You can use Windows Task Scheduler to do this, but it can’t directly “print” a .docx by itself — you must call an app (like Word) and pass the print command to it.
Here’s are the steps to achieve
Print the document using Task Scheduler + Word
a.Create a batch file
Open Notepad and paste this (adjust path if needed):
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office12\WINWORD.EXE" /q /n "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office12\Print A Test Page Every Friday At Noon.docx" /mFilePrint
Save as:
print_document.bat
b.Schedule the batch file
Open Task Scheduler → Create Basic Task
Trigger: Weekly → Friday → 12:00 PM
Action: Start a program
Program path: Select your .bat file
Finish
c.Make sure your printer is default
Task Scheduler sends print jobs to the default printer.
Go to:
Control Panel → Devices and Printers
Right-click your printer
Select Set as Default
(Your URL printer: http://192.168.12.154... must already be added)
Important Notes
Computer must be ON
User must be logged in
Printer must be reachable on the network
