1. Print files automatically
As much as you may , you may still receive documents you need to print. If you only have a single printer, and don’t need to tweak settings for different types of documents, you can create a Folder Action that will automatically print any files you add to a folder.
To do this, we’re going to use Apple’s Automator. Launch the Automator applications (it’s in your /Applications folder). When the program opens, select Folder Action in the template sheet that appears, and then click Choose.
To the right of the Automator window, above the workflow space, you’ll a line of text that reads: “Folder Action receives files and folders added to.” Click on the Choose Folder menu at the end of the sentence and then select the folder you want to attach this Folder Action to. You may want to create a new folder, or just use an existing folder.
Now, click in the search field at the left of the Automator window and type print. A list of Automator actions will appear. Click on the Print Finder Items action and drag it to the right side of the Automator window.
