Part of my work-flow is to run an action that finishes with printing to a Canon CLC3200.

Photoshop records the action fine, but when the action is run the print simply does not come out, there are no faults or error messages.

Can actions include a step for printing?

Yes they can, at least until CS4. I can’t seem to get print to record in any actions. Set print options records fine but not print. Whats up with that?

Might as well post this here as well as the Mac forum
You can use a script to print, an action can include calling the script.

#target photoshop
app.activeDocument.printOneCopy();

Save the code using a text editor as FileName.jsx
PC:- C:/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS4/Presets/Scripts/ Mac:- [hard drive]/Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS4/Presets/Scripts/

To run script:-
File – Scripts – (Select script)
