Just because you are running the same system does not mean that you are
"comparing apples to apples". Loaded osaxen and different versions of AS are
just 2 things(out of probably a million :-) ) that could be different but
still mean alot when applescripting.
Good point.
As for printing....you can copy a Postscript file to the desktop printer (OS
9.1, AS 1.6) just as so:
set Print_file to "HD:foo:bar.ps" -- path to you file
set Printer_loc to "HD:Desktop Folder:your printer:" -- path to your printer
copy file Print_file to Printer_loc
This doesn't work for me. It results in the value of Printer_loc
being changed to the value in Print_file--nothing goes to the printer.
I tried a few variations on this, but couldn't find a version that
executed. E.g., "alias" instead of "file", "duplicate" or "move"
instead of "copy", direct string values in quotes instead of
variables.
What am I missing?
