Well, that is the question. I haven't checked recently, but the last time I tried the command print booklet ? did not work - it gives you a print dialog, but doesn't seem to print booklets.

I thought this was how all printers worked (Mac OS 10.4.6).

My printer is a Minolta/QMS PagePro 9100 with Duplex.
Does your printer need interaction with the print dialog to set up
duplex?

But I am sure if it can be solved, John could save at least 10 seconds on every booklet he will ever print in the future. Which, if he prints as many as I do, will be a lot of life time.

[Finale] FinaleScript Booklet
John,You should stick with your tried and trusted 'long winded' method like I have.You would have already saved yourself time. I was pulled up for suggesting this only a few digests back - but there you go, each to his own method!Finalescript - not that simple is it really guys? Jonathan Thanks Johannes and Dennis. I've got the page size and orientation OK, but it still prints on one side only. I have tried with the printer layout set to duplex off, and to short-edged binding. Same result both ways.

You leave the printing dialogue alone, but you set up your printer to use the right size of paper and the right orientation. For instance, if my score is A4 portrait, I set my printer to A3 landscape and run the script. If your printer can't duplex, you need to run the script in two parts, one for the recto, one for the verso, as explained in the script itself. Thanks Johannes and Dennis.
