Ok so.....I was wondering Chris if you are able to or would consider making the software so it would monitor the printer a little more. And further more send an email if something went wrong with it. The only reason this feature would be nice is it would email the person if the printer wasn't working on a remote booth, such as one placed in a mall. Wondering how feasible it would be to do for the printer and camera errors? That way you would know you would have to go service your booth if you got an email. Just a thought....Seen it on some other software and thought it would be a nice feature. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks. Cheers.

You could probably modify one of the photobooth AutoHotKey scripts to look for the camera_not_connected.jpg screen or detect long periods when the ready.jpg screen is not displayed and have it send an email using Thunderbird, Hotfolder's email_image.exe utility or some other command line email utility. To monitor the printer you'd probably need a separate utility to read the printer status.
