This is untested, but it should get you started. Save it as a stay-open
application, and change the older path and printer style names to suit:
o n idle
set theFolder to "Macintosh HD:Folder to watch:"
tell application "Finder"
try
set idFiles to every folder of entire contents of folder theFolder whose
file type is "indd" as alias list
on error -- work around bug if there is only one file
set idFiles to (every folder of entire contents of folder theFolder whose
file type is "indd") as alias as list
end try
end tell
if idFiles is not {} then
tell application "InDesign 2.0.2"
set user interaction level to never interact
repeat with i from 1 to count of idFiles
open item i of idFiles
print document 1 using "House style" without print dialog -- name of
print style to use
close document 1 saving no
end repeat
set user interaction level to interact with all
end tell
end if
return 10 -- try again in 10 seconds
end idle
--
