      As to the file name you construct for the PS file, there's no point doing
      that because you can't use it in the script... In other words, you can't
      say "print myDoc as PS using filename X and preset Y". You have to go
      through the dialog, and you have to type the name.




You can use PrintPreference's printFile property to set the name of the PS-file and you can use activePrinterPreset to choose a printer preset in script. I do it in my script that exports each page to a separate PS-file and names each file in the following form:
Page number + "_Magazine name_" + Issue number + ".ps"
e.g. 012_business_843.ps
