AppleScript, QuarkXpress, PostScript

I am having a hard time setting up a script that will get QuarkXpress to
print a custom size page to PostScript. I want to be able to have a drag and
drop script that when QuarkXpress documents are dragged on it it would print
a PostScript file formatted with the Acrobat Distiller PPD and have it print
the file to the size of the document. At this time I have a script that does
all the things I need with the exception of getting the page size correct.
If I pug the specific page width and page offset values they are ignored. If
I try to get the script to change the page size it errors telling me it
can't change the values. It's like its tied to the LaserWriter software. I
am going to post a copy of what I have at:

ftp://curly.newtimes.com/pub/out/PrintToAcrobatPS.hqx

Any help would be appreciated.
