I have an Applescript question - and forgive me if I'm way off base - I'm a
complete novice with Applescript.

Is it possible to have Applescript do the following scenario:

With OSA Menu installed, have a menu item (script) called "Archive Document"

This script would call a dialogue allowing the user to browse their desktop
volumes and select a file.

Once this file is selected, verify or switch the print driver to
Laserwriter 8, and then print the document to file -- thus creating a
postscript file

I would want this postscript file to be printed (saved) to a particular
network volume, so the script would have to handle the situation if the user
does not have the volume mounted - such as an error message and some sort of
a prompt for them to connect to this particular server volume.

Another twist on the same scenario would be to have an OSA Menu that was
"Archive THIS document" - which a user could invoke while in a document and
bypass the browsing portion. The rest of the scenario would remain the
same.

Then as a final twist - this would have to work with OSX too.
