There are a couple of glitches at the moment. The default style has a
problem with its name, so is best addressed by index. There's also a problem
with styles generated via script; basically, the best advice is to use only
manually created styles.
Presuming you have a printer style called PostScript 2, you could use this:
tell application "InDesign 2.0.1"
tell document 1
tell print preferences
set active printer style to "PostScript 2"
set print file to "Macintosh HD:Doc2.ps"
end tell
print without print dialog
end tell
end tell
or something like this, if you wanted the settings to live on with the
document:
tell application "InDesign 2.0.1"
set theProps to properties of printer style "PostScript 2"
set theProps to {print file:"Macintosh HD:Doc3.ps"} & theProps
tell document 1
set properties of print preferences to theProps
print without print dialog
end tell
end tell
