Answer 1

Is it necessary to be done with python? Instead of writing a program that runs in the background and checks the time, it is better to use a built-in solution in your OS like cron.

You can find here how to run scheduled tasks on Windows: Setting up a cron job in Windows

And how to print files from command line: command line tool for print picture?

Answer 2

Answer: i used the command

mspaint /pt [image filename]

using notepad and saved it as a batch file, and used Windows Task Scheduler to run the batch file everyday Thanks!
