I'm having similar problems here. What's the command to open an item in the book, or in our example "item i of theDocs"?

I think one of the problems is that print preferences is a property of a document, not the Book. I can write a script to print a PS file from an open document by nesting it in a tell Document 1 block. But in our examples above we don't have any open documents.

I suppose a workaround would be to manually open all documents in a book and repeat loop through each one generating different PS files, but that's not the best solution.

Ideally we wouldn't have to open any document, but if we must I'd like to open the first one, print the PS file, then close it before moving on to document 2.
