I admit to being almost completely ignorant of Applescript despite my best intentions to become familiar with the language and its 'universe of discourse', but I'm looking for a way to interrogate the printer API so as to pass information to an xTalk development system (SuperCard or Runtime Revolution, both of whichm can interact with AppleScript). The key information I need at present is the minimum margins of a page of a given size, i.e. parameters which describe the actual printable area on the page. I know this info is available in principle, but neither of my development tools provide it explicitly and I wonder whether AppleScript might help.
(Assuming you're running OSX)
Not saying that this a reply, did you run a:
-----------------------------
do shell script "defaults read com.apple.print.PrintCenter"
-----------------------------
?
