Hello all, I've been trying to set up a script that sets the Print Style --
but so far I have been unsuccessful... so I tried a different route - by
attempting to adjust the settings individually: (no luck so far, that's why
I'm writing).
Here's what I have so far:
tell application "Finder"
activate
set theFile to choose file with prompt "Select file to be processed" as
string
end tell
tell application "QuarkXPress* 4.11"
activate
open theFile
tell document 1
set description of print setup to "Scitex Pro"
set paper size of print setup to "Letter"
set orientation of print setup to "Landscape"
end tell
--tell document 1 to tell print setup to set registration marks to off
--tell document 1 to tell print setup to set paper size to Letter
--tell document 1 to tell print setup to set printer type to "Scitex RIPRO"
--tell document 1 to tell print setup to set orientation to "Portrait"
tell document 1
repeat with i from 1 to count of pages
set thePage to i
try
print page thePage PostScript file theFile
end try
end repeat
end tell
end tell
I get an Execution Error: QuarkXpress 4.11 got an error: Can't set paper
size of print setup of document 1 to "Letter".
I've tried different variations of this (see the commented out section of
the above script) - and I basically get the same error. I do not, however,
get an error on the "tell document 1 to tell print setup to set registration
marks to off" -- that works fine...
Or... better yet, if someone knows of a way to have AppleScript change the
print style to the print style I created... that would be ideal.
Thanks for any assistance --
