Thanks for your reply Kasyan. I really appreciate it. However the script i'm trying to work out is doing exactly the things that you've mentioned (having a printer preset that is set as the active printer preset) except that my script is modifying a few settings of that preset(that's because i need a lot of custom printing, and having a separate preset for each one would make me create a dozen presets). However the thing that i dun really get is why this works when using the print display dialog, and why it doesn't work without the print dialog. The thing that i really dun seem to understand ... why if i add after the "tell preferences" end tell the line: set numberOfActiveInks to (every ink of theDoc whose print ink is true) display dialog ((length of numberOfActiveInks) as string) will show the "correct" number of inks i want to be printed, but when it goes printing them it just prints them all.
