Hello
Using the CUPS-PDF driver I was able to reach my goal.
Alas, to define the starting page and the ending page, I was forced
to use GUIscripting because even with this driver the instruction
after setting the printer to use thru:
tell application "Printer Setup Utility"
set current printer to printer "CUPS-PDFr"
end tell
…
print myDoc with properties {starting page:p, ending page:p}
