This is a Mac OS X matter, so Windows users can skip to the next message.

If you are printing several files using separate AppleScript "print" commands, you might find that the last page of each file (except for the last file) is not printed. I found that this occurred if the next print command was sent while the Printer Icon in the Dock was still being displayed from the previous print command. So how can you tell if the Printer Icon is there or not?

Many thanks to that "Son of Thunder", Ken Ray, for his ProcessList function (see http://www.sonsofthunder.com/devres/revolution/tips/proc002.htm). That will give you a real-time list of running processes. I found that the process that represents the Printer Icon in the Dock is called "PrinterProxy". Once I had that figured out, it was easy to delay the sending of the next print command until the Printer Icon had disappeared from the previous print command.

Bottom line: no more missing pages!
