Is there a way to change default printer selection according to template chosen?

[alexsiskahn]

say I'm using a touch screen with two templates.
1st template is double strip I want to print out on 4x6 dyesub
2nd template is a photocube layout that I want to print out on 8x10 dyesub

Is there anway in the software or via autohotkey to change the default printer so psremote prints to the right printer?

:D

I'm sure you could change the printer using an AutoHotKey script but it would be quite complicated. If you started from the option screen AutoHotKey script you'd need to add the following to switch printers:
1) Exit photobooth mode
2) Select File->Printer Setup
3) When the Print Setup window is displays select the required printer from the drop down list and press OK
4) Restart photobooth mode

I'm working on a hot folder printing utility which might help. This has the same print layout options as the photobooth software and you could run two copies monitoring different folders: one for standard strips and one for photo cubes. Then all you would need to do is set the photobooth output option to none and change the output folder to switch between strips and cubes.

A hotfolder wouldn't really solve the issue of printing to printers with different sized paper. The software uses the printer to make the layout so a hotfolder would only work with paper that has the same porportions like 4x6 in one printer and 8x12" in the other printer.

If one wanted to do 4x6 and 8x10 the formatting would be wrong.

Not if the hot folder printing utility did the formatting.
