How do they crash? Quark 6.0 and 6.1 crashes a lot on fonts. Can you
print this file manually to an postscript printer? If it also crashes
then an ver haigh chance is that the fonts are the problem makers.
If the problem is not with the fonts then try tho make an ps file
without the printsetup commands and do the printsetup manually in the
program. If this goes right well then it is you print setup who
causes the problem.
It's possible that the order of al those sets commands is wrong. I
had this in the past many times. That's why it is better to set the
whole print setup in one command line in applescript.
somthing like
tell application "QuarkXPress Passport"
set print setup of document 1 to {printer type:"Adobe PDF", absolute
overlap:true, back to front:false, ......}
end tell
Last thing why this goes wring is the contents of an property of the
printsetup. are all values possible???

I have a small script that is simply trying to print a PS file from
a quark document.
On version 6 and 6.1 (which I have here in the office) both version
crash as they produce the PS file. Rather frustrating.. I'm
wondering if someone has had this problem and knows how to avoid it?
Also I find it strange that in the Print Setup Preferences, you are
unable to set print colors to "As Is" only Greyscale, CMYK and RGB
come up as options..
That also goes for setting halftone to "Printer" rather than a
specified number.
Any light on creating PS from Quark documents would appreciated.
-------------- my current code
tell application "QuarkXPress Passport"
tell document 1
set pageWide to (get page width)
set pageHigh to (get page height)
tell print setup
set printer type to "Adobe PDF"
set paper size to "Custom"
set adjust horizontal tile to false
set bleed to 0
set fit in area to false
set print colors to composite CMYK -- would
like to set this to "As is"
set orientation to portrait
set page gap to "0 mm"
set page position to center horizontal
set page sequence to all pages
set paper offset to "0 mm"
set paper width to pageWide
set paper height to pageHigh
set print spreads to false
set reduce or enlarge to "100%"
set registration marks to off
set resolution to 1200
set halftone screen to 300 -- would like to
set this to "Printer"
set separation to false
set tiling to off
set print quality to normal
end tell
set FilePath to "HD:Users:wayne:Desktop:filetest.ps"
print PostScript file FilePath
end tell
end tell
