Hey,

I've never used AppleScript before but I'm assuming that's what I'll need in order to accomplish what I want. I need a simple script that plays a sound on the computer whenever someone prints to it.

Scenario: I have two computers on a network.
I print from Computer 1 to a printer that's shared on the network connected to Computer 2. When I print, I'd like Computer 2 to make an alert sound.

Anyone have any idea how this could be done?
Thanks

I've got this so far but it doesn't automatically beep when the printer status is changed to printing. only if i run the script while its already printing. anyone know how to make it continuously check the printer status?

tell application "Printer Setup Utility"
activate
set printerStatus to status of current printer
repeat
if printerStatus is printing then beep 1
end repeat
end tell

Nevermind.. this actually works when saved and ran as an Application! You just have to make sure your printer in System Preferences < Print/Fax is set to Default
