Changing default printer on network change?

I can't find a post about this.

I've just discovered your app, and will purchase it for this one use case: switching my default printer depending which WiFi network my MacBook is connected to.

I don't think I can see a relevant Shortcut action, but perhaps you know of another way?

Hi, you need to use the network / wifi trigger and then trigger a shortcut to change the default printer.

To do this a shortcut that runs the lpoptions command would work well

First get the name of your installed printers by typing lpstat -p -d in terminal

Then create a Run Shell Script shortcut that runs the terminal command lpoptions -d theNameOfThePrinterYouWant

Also name the Trigger in Trypa something with a * as the first character, this is a trick to make it always run and check the network (even after the Macbook wakes).

Let us know how that goes.

Thank you -- that's just what I was after.

I have purchased the full app.

You can always test with Trypa Lite.
