I am not sure this is the correct Forum to post this question:
I am tired of inkjet print heads nozzles clogging due to infrequent use. I have switched over to monochrome laser printer for everyday printing and I am loving it .
However I still have need of a cheap inkjet for color .
Is there a simple way to automate printing of a color test page (that I have stored in the computer) once a week so I dont forget ?
Thanks
Create a Scheduled Task using MSPaint /p then the location of a small gif image with four colors or more e.g. C\users\username\1.gif
You can also use Word or any program that has a print switch for command line
Got it. I manually triggered the .bat file to test out the script . Now I need to add the task to the Scheduler
BTW How to change printer from default to inkjet before the script mspaint /p etc Tks

Hello sportflyer,
You can automate the printing test page once per week. For that, you need to build an extension for firefox and chrome.
I use this to run a Word document once a week using Task Scheduler
setup time etc in task scheduler as for any task.
set Program/ script = "Program Files (x86)\Windows NT\Accessories\wordpad.exe"
set add additional argument = /p "D:\work\My Documents\Current Stuff\printheadcleaner.docx"
This will briefly open a window and then send "printheadcleaner.docx" to the default printer without any intervention from user.
