How can I use AppleScript 1.9.3 (OS X.3.2) to print a PDF file?
Finder is scriptable and shows a print command in its Standard Suite,
but Finder ignores it.
Actually, it doesn't. Unfortunately, what it does is tell Preview to
print it....
Preview opens it if I ask Finder to do so, and will print it if I
click the right buttons, but Preview is not scriptable.
Even though Preview is not scriptable in the usual sense, it should
still respond to the "print" event, same as it responds to the "open"
and "quit" events. Unfortunately, it doesn't. There's a bug filed on
this.
Workarounds are to use lpr(1) or Printer Setup Utility, as already
decribed.
