How to print a drive document with Google scripts

Question

An example of what I would like to do is print 10 copies of a PDF that lives in Google Drive using a script. I learned today about Site's Gadgets and that may be how we implement this script and yesterday we enabled Cloud Printing to our printers.

I found a similar this question posted already from 2012: google app script print button

Apparently when this question was asked GAS and Cloud Printing didn't work? or wasn't supported or wasn't available... I'm not sure.

Is this possible?

I apologize since this is new to me and I don't know the google lingo well enough yet.

Thank you!

Andy

Answer 1

I don't think you can do what you want directly in google app script but this might be useful:

Answer 2

You can do this via Google Script. This post by Amit Agarwal explains how.

The key is making sure that you have a printer set up with Google Print. I have a printer with no wifi capability but is connected to an outdated Mac that exclusively runs Google print.
