I would like to use Task Scheduler to print a simple graphic every day to
keep my inkjet printer heads clean. Any simmple solutions without writing
scripts or installing 3rd party software. I'm stymied!!!

Create a batch file with these lines inside:

@echo off
notepad /p c:\SomeFolder\SomeFile.txt

Now use the Task Scheduler to launch this batch file.
 
Thanks Pegasus for the idea and the /p switch. It worked using Wordpad and a
..rtf file with coloured fonts. Tks again
 
Thanks for the feedback.

Whoops ... it works in Run but not in Scheduler ... Can you think of a way of
making Notepad print colour? Or is there another solution with Wordpad to
print in colour.

Thanks
 
A command that works under Run ***always*** works under
the Task Scheduler. However, there are certain settings available
to you while you are logged on that may not be available under
the Task Scheduler. You may have to supply them manually. To
be safe you should always enter the full path to the executable
(wordpad.exe in your case) when scheduling a command. Find
out where wordpad.exe is located on your disk, then enter it in
your batch file.
