AutoIT Novell iPrint automation complete

iPrint information from wikipedia.
iPrint, a technology originally developed by Novell, allows users to install printer-drivers from a web browser and to submit print jobs over the Internet or a local network through the standard Internet Printing Protocol (IPP).

Although the system uses Novell infrastructure, desktop users require only an iPrint client.

iPrint servers utilise the combination of:
an IPP server, Print Manager ,Printer Agent ,iPrint Gateway ,driver store

Until now we have been using autoIT gui interface to install the client and printers in a very simple and efficient way:



Rescripted by me to allow installing multiple printers with only few mouse clicks (using checkboxes), new support for Windows Vista/7 32/64bit. Few printers added.



Conclusions:
It's sometimes much harder to modify existing code rather then creating things from scrach.

AutoIT scripting - GUI X-mas Application Window design

My first steps into AutoIt scripting ended with quite good looking Quick Launch Application Window. It doesn't take much time to come up with some simple scripts to automate your everyday tasks from setting up the correct screen resolution at the startup to more powerfull network related tasks. Latest windows 7 os with PowerShell 2 built-in may be perfect to link with your autoit backend.

HP6735b Quick Launch

I have spent few hours trying to disable this quick launch bar (touch bar) ... I have disabled it in registry,hardware devices and start-up config and it still works fine!!
The only solution that I have found was to order a part from HP which will replace this bar with another - that wouldn't let students to switch the wireless icon off by just touching it!!
