Garry,
I saw your post regarding writing PostScript files from QuarkXPress and
thought I could lend a hand. I've been using PreFab Software's PreFab Player
and Player Runtime to do the trick. This software allows you to perform
functions through scripting as if you were performing them by hand, only
faster. We PostScript a lot of files through Quark (3 &4) to a dozen
different printers, each with their own specific requirements. We've been
using PreFab for several years now to handle the page setup and print setup
settings. This alternative was the best solution and gave us the control we
needed.
Here's an example of what you might do with PreFab...
tell application "QuarkXPress(tm) 4.11"
activate
tell application "PreFab Player(tm)"
set dialog folder to "path to your destination goes here"
do menu menu item "Print" of menu "File"
click button "Printer"
do menu popup item "File" of popup "Destination"
click button "Save"
end tell
end tell
This is just a small sample so you have an idea of the syntax used by
PreFab.
