Hi There,

Using the follow shell command a script can change the default paper size selected:-

do shell script "defaults write com.apple.print.PrintingPrefs DefaultPaperID iso-a4"

Please can someone tell me if it's possible to turn on duplexing in a similar way.



Assuming a preset "Test" already exists, you could do something like this:

tell application "System Events"
tell property list file (path of file "com.apple.print.custompresets.plist" of preferences folder)
-- Set duplexing of preset "Test" to wanted value.
set value of property list item "com.apple.print.PrintSettings.PMDuplexing" of property list item "com.apple.print.preset.settings" of property list item "Test" to 2
-- Make sure preset "Test" is selected.
set value of property list item "com.apple.print.lastPresetPref" to "Test"
end tell
end tell
