I found a Control Panel called PrinterSwitch 1.6 which allows you through
AppleScript to switch printers.
However, I like your suggestion MUCH better. I am having some trouble
though.
Here's what I wrote:
tell application "Acrobat Distiller 4.0"
activate
open file "WebAd" of startup disk
end tell
I get an error "Can't get file "WebAd" of startup disk
Any thoughts?

If you want reliable PDFs, you need to use Acrobat Distiller, not PDF

One method is to save your EPS files, then tell Distiller to make them into
