Perhaps you forgot searching 3Applescript Quark-forum2 messages. I9ll
transcript the messages that I consider
applescript-printing-postscript-files Bible:
(...) 3our R&D department is currently working on this problem, and we hope
to implement a fix in a future version of QuarkXPress. In the meantime, I
recommend using a workaround such as what Shane Stanley suggests in this
thread2 (Greg Stretton, Quark Technical Support).
3Shane Stanley - 03:27am Mar 7, 2001 MST (3.)
The safest method is to save the PS file to the root of the startup disk,
and then use the Finder to move it. A bit slower, but more reliable.2
This solution has been posted many times in this list.
I think It isn9t consequent your OS nor XPress version (sino) when Quark
Inc. will give us Quark 5 with this problem (and other) fixed.
Meanwhile, if you find a better solution, please, post it here.
