Still don't need to do that.
When I run the script, it executes as it should, but the file that
gets written, when you do a get info on it, is listed as a Text
Document which text edit can open, while on another machine the
original printers.conf file is listed as a Document which can be
opened through the terminal. Any Idea how I would reset the file so
that it would be a unix file
That shouldn't matter at all to CUPS. But you could try precreating
the file with a UNIX command so it gets UNIXy attributes. Inserting
this line:
do shell script "touch " + quoted form of thefile
as the first line of writeFile() would probably do the trick.

Hi Mark,
I'm not quite sure what you meant with the last part, so just to
make sure I'm doing it right, do you mean it should be written like
this:
-- this is a handler it calls the writefile below with theText
variable and printersconf variable
do shell script "touch" + "thefile"
writeFile(theText, printersconf)
Thank you,
Paul
