Prefab Player is a much more reliable option for scripting the actual print
step. There is just something funny about Quark and printing, even if you
are printin to a physical printer and not just trying to write a Postscript
file. I could get a script to print a file to our imagesetter and it would
work 99% of the time, but modify the same script so that it prints the same
file to our laser printer and it wouldn't work.
Using Player works everytime. Considering how much of so many programs isn't
scriptable, it's a valuable program to have. I hope they get something like
it for OS X and sell it to Apple so it could be integerated into the
standard OS...
