Scripting Print Dialog and Epson Print Dialog - Consultant Required

I have a project I would like to pay a Scripting  Consultant to develop.

The script should run on Photoshop CS 3 , Mac OS Leopard 10.5.6,

I would like the script to be preferrably in Applescript to link with the Mac OS, but it can be Javascript


Functionality

1. The script should  script the settings within the Photoshop print dialog box such as the colour profile

and colour management options

2. I would also like the script to control the Epson Print Settings in the Epson print dialog

boxes such as the Page Size/Set Up and Printer settings such as paper type=  Epson Premium Glossy.

3. Finally I would like  the script to be triggered via a button/palette which floats in Photoshop, so immediately we want to print

a design to a particular Epson printer (we have 4 different Epson printers ) we can click that button and it will

send the print to that printer with the correct profile, media settings, page set up etc

Notes

I have been told that "Configurator" made be the best application to create these printer buttons.

I have also been told that it may be possible to script the Epson Dialog using information from the Script Listener

As you can tell I am not a scripter but have a clear idea of what is required and am happy to pay for the experitise required here.

If you want to email directly please do so -

Thanks very much

Josh

But Configurator is for CS4.

I’m not sure the print-dialog can be Scripted the way You want it; at the company where I work we use a Server-Hotfolder-setup which makes such things easier, as one can simply save separated copies into the respective Folders.

You could also post on http://www.ps-scripts.com/

Many of the most knowledgeable contributors to this Forum are involved in that Forum.

I suggested that he try this forum as it has more Applescript and Mac users the we have at PS-Scripts.

I'm almost certain that what he is asking can't be done with javascript or scriptlistner. I thought that there might be a chance that it could be done with Applescript or a Mac shell command.

If it can be done with a shell command, that could be put in a javascript wrapper so it can be uses in a configurator panel.
