David, I'm not a script writer, but I really like scripts and am
always trying to figure out what works and doesn't. I have a script
that tells my InDesign file to create a PDF. I noticed that in the
export command it says "without showing options". Could that be added
to your print line?
Hope it helps.

tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
launch -- always use with Folder Actions
set this_image to open file (source_file as string)
-- remove dashes to activate dialog hooks
--display dialog "Please choose format:" buttons {"Screen", "Print"}
tell PDF export preferences to set page range to all pages
export this_image format PDF type to target_path using "XXX Press
PDF" without showing options
close this_image saving no
end tell
