    Printing from BAT file is good. But have you ever print from Task Scheduler? I'm a developer and I ensure you that it is very difficult. The point is that with Task Scheduler you don't have a full user environment and most printers aren't present or are present but unusable (especially virtual printers such as Adobe PDF printer).

    I agree with WHS, I never had a problem and have limited printing needs. I use a HP printer. They suggest with limited use, you merely take out the cartridge and shake it. I think the problem that you suggest was more common with the old Dot Matrix type printer. Take care.
    FYI, dot matrix printers don't have cartridges...

    I am fully aware of that Win7clutz, I was referring to the clogging.

    If you need a PDF printer that sticks through reboot and if no one is logged on you can use DoPDF it works great.

    To ManyBeers and everyone else.... I was able to use Task Scheduler to open and print a file every Monday at 5:00 am. Thanks Very Much for all the suggestions - I appreciate it.
