Background Printing

Hi all,

I’ve found some handy code to background print a file. In this case, PDF.

For those that don’t know, here’s how..

tell application “PrinterName” # the name of your printer as it would appear in your dock as it’s printing a file
	print “Path:to:file.pdf” without print dialog
	quit
end tell


GREAT! Works a charm..

My challenge is to get it to print as Greyscale.

Two options as I see it, convert the file before it gets there, or just find a way to tell it to print without colour. I did try adding with properties { color : no } which compiles although seems to be ignored.

Any thoughts would be welcome.

This is to role out to a lot of machines, so for the moment I’m trying to avoid other tools, presets (although this could be an option) and anything that’s not native to OS X 10.8.* or above.

Thanks for any input

Wayne
