Traversing directories and print files from the client over WebDav ?

[albertwt]

Hi All,

I'd like to know if it is possible Using Powershell 2.0 to traverse directory and print files on the client side printer over WebDAV protocol ?

i got the below powershell script it works great over the shared network drive but how to actually modify and use it in WebDav folders ?

the scenario is like this: i have a directories in the server which has got multiple PDF files and the client would like to print it using the printer on their machine.

Thanks.

Printing script which works for shared network folder but not WebDAV

function print-file($file) {
begin {
function internal-printfile($thefile) {
if ($thefile -is [string]) {$filename = $thefile }
else {
if ($thefile.FullName -is [string] ) { $filename = $THEfile.FullName }
}
$start = new-object System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo $filename
$start.Verb = "print"
[System.Diagnostics.Process]::Start($start)
}

if ($file -ne $null) {
$filespecified = $true;
internal-printfile $file
}
}
process{if (!$filespecified) { write-Host process ; internal-printfile $_ } }
}

#dir *.pdf -r | print-file

Script for testing the webdav protocol in use, it returns True

function Test-WebDav ()
{
param ( $Url = "$( throw 'URL parameter is required.')" )
$xhttp = New-Object -ComObject msxml2.xmlhttp
$xhttp.open("OPTIONS", $url, $false)
$xhttp.send()
if ( $xhttp.getResponseHeader("DAV") ) { $true }
else { $false }
}
