Setting print parameters

Hello

I have a script which successfully selects the printer I want:

tell application "Printer setup Utility"
set the current printer to printer "printer name"
end tell

What I want the script to do as well is to have duplex layout, ie either select a particular print preset I have - "Both sides A4" - or to go to the layout dialog box and select "two-sided/long-edged binding".

I cannot find anything in printer setup utility's AppleScript library which will enable to do this. Am I missing something, or is there another way of setting up the printer? Do I have to call the application from which I'll be printing the document?

I want the AppleScript to work in a FileMaker Pro Advanced script so that all I need to do is click on a button, and not have to check or adjust the printer setup as well. I could not find the printing details in FMPA's AppleScript library either.

Thanks for any help



Merrie
