Hi there !
I tried to build a workflow that would send a selected file to a printer to print it (same as a drag-a-file&drop-it-on-the-printer), but it seems that I'm not good enough ;-)
Did somebody find a solution for this ?
Thank you for your help !
Send selected file to Printer X/Y/Z

Hi David,
And thank you for your answer ! In fact, when I drag a file from the finder and drop it on the printer-icon of my dock, the file is opened in the default application (my choice of extension, such as ".doc" => open with MS Word) and printed by the application. So, when I want to print a doc file with my printer X, I "just" have to drop it on my printer-icon and it works. It seems that OS X knows that droping a file on a printer means "use the default application to print it".
I'm absolutely not into programing and so I'm not sure to understand why it's different to tell Alfred to "open the selected file with application X/Y/Z" and to tell Alfred to "send the file to printer X/Y/Z" (and let Mac OSX do the rest).
You see what I mean (sorry for my poor technical vocabulary) ?
