"the result" returns exception info for the last command executed. In
that case it's the "close printing" command.
Move it a line up and it'll tell you what's happening with the print
command.
But add an error-check just after "open printing..." and I'll bet you'll
find the culprit:
You path begins with "/", which signifies the root of the volume. But
"Desktop" is in the root, it's in the user's Home folder at (assuming Mac):
/Users/<yourname>/Desktop/
Using specialFolderPath("Desktop") will always return the correct path
on all platforms with a Desktop.
But in your case, you can do something even simpler:
put "~/Desktop/test files/Test.pdf" into temp
The leading "~" is shorthand for the current user's folder.
