The gist of the project is: I have Google Form answers that get populated on a Google doc, let's call this doc the template. The template is copied so I never overwrite the original. That copy is converted to PDF, sent to email, and moved to a specific folder on my Drive. This function happens flawlessly with every Form submission and gets triggered on submit. My next function is supposed to send that copied doc to my Google Cloud Print, but I'm having trouble writing the code for that. I have it to the point where it will print the doc on Form submit, but I have to specifically define the doc's ID. Unfortunately the ID is not static since a new doc is made with every submission. Here's my full code minus any sensitive information:
// Work Order
// Get template from Google Docs and name it
var docTemplate = ""; // *** replace with your template ID ***
var docName = "Work Order";
function addDates() {
var date = new Date(); // your form date
var holiday = ["09/04/2017", "10/09/2017", "11/23/2017", "12/24/2017", "12/25/2017", "01/01/2018"]; //Define holiday dates in MM/dd/yyyy
var days = 5; //No of days you want to add
date.setDate(date.getDate());
var counter = 0;
if (days > 0) {
while (counter < days) {
date.setDate(date.getDate() + 1);
var check = date.getDay();
var holidayCheck = holiday.indexOf(Utilities.formatDate(date, "EDT", "MM/dd/yyyy"));
if (check != 0 && check != 6 && holidayCheck == -1) {
counter++;
}
}
}
Logger.log(date) //for this example will give 08/16/2017
return date;
}
function createNewDoc(values) {
//Get information from form and set as variables
var email_address = "";
var job_name = values[1];
var ship_to = values[11];
var address = values[12];
var order_count = values[7];
var program = values[2];
var workspace = values[3];
var offer = values[4];
var sort_1 = values[5];
var sort_2 = values[6];
var image_services = values[9];
var print_services = values[10];
var priority = values[13];
var notes = values[14];
var formattedDate = Utilities.formatDate(new Date(), "EDT", "MM/dd/yyyy");
var expirationDate = Utilities.formatDate(addDates(), "EDT", "MM/dd/yyyy");
// Get document template, copy it as a new temp doc, and save the Doc's id
var copyId = DriveApp.getFileById(docTemplate)
.makeCopy(docName + ' for ' + job_name)
.getId();
// Open the temporary document
var copyDoc = DocumentApp.openById(copyId);
// Get the document's body section
var copyBody = copyDoc.getActiveSection();
// Replace place holder keys,in our google doc template

// Save and close the temporary document

// Convert temporary document to PDF by using the getAs blob conversion

// Attach PDF and send the email
