Hi Shane,
Thanks again for your input!
Bringing up the print window is the
easy part... actually I may have just stumbled on what my problem was...
My initial tests for the Print window
wasn't inside the "system events" tell block, therefore it was
only recognising the document windows open in InDesign. Using the below
script I get the Print window appearing and the "Printer..."
button presses but, however, no Apple Print window appears, so I may have
to do like what I do in the Quark Print window and use Extra Suites to
move mouse and click. When I include "set wcount to count of windows"
under the click button line it now includes the Print window in the count.
tell
application
"Adobe InDesign CS2"
activate
tell
application
"System Events"
tell
process
"InDesign"
keystroke
"p" using
{command down}
repeat
until
exists
(window
"Print")
end
repeat
click
button
"Printer..." of
window
"Print"
end
tell
end
tell
end
tell
Cheers,
Coj

Good luck. You might see if you can get around it by using different PPDs,
or some kind of pdfmrk file -- anything but GUI scripting.
Theoretically, you should be able to bring up ID's print dialog with:
select menu item "Print..." of submenu "File"
of menu 1
However, it seems to bring it up and hit Print immediately.
