did not find anything on this topic although i do remember something on selecting different postscript printers under macOS.

what i want to do: as far as i know, selecting a printer style via script does not change the default printer on macOS level. so you have to first select the appropriate printer (possibly manually in the chooser) and then print from indesign.
.i know that you can script the desktop printer manager and thereby choose any printer that uses the laserwriter or adobePS driver.
but i need to script output onto an epson, which is non-postscript.

is there a way? where do i have to look? the chooser does not seem to be scriptable?

thank you
g
