Could we print mate?
&ty, I'll try it now

edit: it sort of works-
it does actually open my lappy's cd tray.
however this error is constant->

NameError: uninitialized constant CD Tray

It doesn't matter what state the bool is in, or whether it is triggered

???

[nix]

just wondering if somehow you could print a string from FS on a printer?
I thought I'd ask because you have implemented this

[JB_AU]

I used shellexecute which is very primitive & limited.
PRINT sometext.txt /D:com2

There is however
WORDPAD /PT sometxt.rtf ThisPrinter

Which completely does formatting but opens & closes wordpad

I am trying to pipe to winspool.drv so there is no limitation

Interesting,
well done.
The potential market for business machines is huge

The potential market for machine automation is astronomical

Yep,
it's fixed as far as I can tell,
my door is manually closed.

I have a little experience with machine control-
Baldor servo and SEW PLCs

What I was getting at was accounting software-
could be a real winner if print enabled

--I will test it on a door that closes too in a minute on my desktop

Hmm...

It doesn't matter what state the bool is in, or whether it is triggered

On my PC it always only opens the cd tray (if closed)

It's supposed to eject the tray when clicked & close the tray when clicked.
