AFAIK, printing details are handled by applications' setups. In TextEdit, for example, you can set these:
print settings n
properties
copies (integer) : the number of copies of a document to be printed
collating (boolean) : Should printed copies be collated?
starting page (integer) : the first page of the document to be printed
ending page (integer) : the last page of the document to be printed
pages across (integer) : number of logical pages laid across a physical page
pages down (integer) : number of logical pages laid out down a physical page
error handling (standard/detailed) : how errors are handled
fax number (string) : for fax number
target printer (string) : for target printer
but the properties you want are not listed.

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
