Adding undesired inks when using PrintOut.

Hello, 

I have a script that creates a document, and prints out the separations using a printer sytle that is set up to only print the black ink plate, plus any spot colors that come through. The print style works fine manually, but as soon as I try to run it through the script I get the Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow plates. Since everything is done on black + spot there are no need for these plates. 

Why is Indesign ignoring this one aspect of the print style (everything else is fine). 

I am using indesign 2.01. It worked fine in version 1.5. 

Here is an example I put together that mimics what I do in the fill script, and still gives me the same problem: 

Dim ObjInDes As InDesign.Application 
Dim ObjDocument As InDesign.Document 
Dim objdistiller As New ACRODISTXLib.PdfDistiller 
Dim ErrCode As Integer 

Set ObjInDes = CreateObject("indesign.application") 
ObjInDes.UserInteractionLevel = idDontDisplayAlerts 
Set ObjDocument = ObjInDes.Open("c:\work\TEST-ITEM.indd") 
ObjDocument.PrintOut idPrintWithoutDialog, "Seperations" 
ObjDocument.Close 

Set ObjDocument = Nothing 
Set ObjInDes = Nothing 

Thanks for any reply
