Thanks for the confirmation on this bug. Do you have any code your could share? I have a tight deadline and haven’t messed with GUI scripting much, I do have Quickeys installed though.

For UI scripting, you could try something like...

tell application "System Events"
    tell process "QuarkXPress"
        set frontmost to true
        click menu item "Print..." of menu "File" of menu bar 1
        keystroke return
    end tell
end tell

The terminology for UI scripting can be found under the "Processes Suite" in the "System Events" application dictionary. In order to use UI scripting, make sure that you first select the "Enable Access for Assistive Devices" checkbox in the "Universal Access" system preference.

For QuicKeys scripting, you could try manually recording a QuicKeys shortcut to navigate the print dialogs in Quark. If you can get this to work, then you should be able to trigger the shortcut from AppleScript via the following code...

tell application "QuicKeys"
    play shortcut named "YourQuarkShortcutName"
end

Hope this helps.

Regards,

-Ben
