How can I get AppleScript to bypass the Print Dialog box? I am
writing a script that will print anything (mainly PDF's) that is
dropped into a folder.
Have you tried the 'lp' call. Works for me on OS X 10.2.3. I think you
might have to set up your target printers in Print Center by holding
down the Option key while selecting "Add" in the Printer List window.
Some "man" pages for 'lp' and 'lpstat' are available. Also check out
<http://localhost:631> which is the CUPS printer management system.
Should have mentioned that when choosing "Add Printer" with the Option
key down, there is an extra "Advanced" item in the popup. That's where
you add printers accessible to CUPS.
