Printing InDesign PostScript to Two Volumes with the Same Name

  • Thread-topic: Printing InDesign PostScript to Two Volumes with the Same Name

I've got an interesting problem. I'm using a script to print a PostScript file out of InDesign to a folder located on one of two mounted volumes. The script allows the user to choose the destination folder. The problem is, both volumes have the same name. The destination folders for my PostScript files are not common between the two volumes, but the script will not find the destination folder on one of the two volumes (the one that was mounted last). Does this make sense? For example, if I have two mounted volumes named "MyVolume", and destination folders "MyVolume:Folder_1" for the first volume and "MyVolume:Folder_2" for the second volume, InDesign won't print to one of the two folders. Here's part of the code:
 
-- UserChoice is a destination folder chosen by the user
-- The current application is "Adobe InDesign CS3"
set PostScriptPath to ("MyVolume:" & UserChoice & ":" & DocName & ".ps") as string
tell active document
tell print preferences
set active printer preset to theStyle
set printer to postscript file
set print file to PostScriptPath
end tell
print without print dialog
end tell
 
I guess what I really need is a way to differentiate the two "MyVolumes" within the output path name.
 
Thanks,
Garry Simon
