Hi Luther,

Thanks for the help.
I did ask someone with some unix experience and they helped me along the way.
I ended up with this:-

         do shell script "defaults read com.apple.print.customPresets | grep customPresetNames

If I execute that it returns this:-
\"com.apple.print.customPresetNames\" = (\"a4 duplex\", test1);

from which I can get the preset names.

I've also tried your code which works, thanks for that. Gonna have a further tinker with it to extract the preset names only.

Regards

Nick
