To schedule an unattended print job using WordPad, follow these steps:

1. Double-click the System Agent icon on the taskbar to open System Agent.

2. On the Program menu, click Schedule A New Program.

3. In the Program box, type the path for WordPad. (By default, the path is
  "C:\Program Files\Accessories\Wordpad.exe.")
