Tiger breaks Quark printing script

I have tried and tried to get my script to work again but every time I run the print command it starts to work and then dies and crashes Quark right out in the process. I want to print as postscript but neither command works. See below:

tell application "QuarkXPress"
	activate
	tell document 1
		tell page 1
			set psFilePath to path to desktop as string
			set psFilePath to psFilePath & "TESTFILE.ps"
			print PostScript file psFilePath
		end tell
	end tell
end tell

If anyone could run the above and let me know if you get the same result as me I’d appreciate it. Incidentally this is just one action out of a much larger script which all works perfectly on a Panther machine.

Cheers for the help in advance.

Hi!

I discovered the same problem… with

on run {vCheminEtNom, vPathSaveTemp}
set vPathSaveTemp to vPathSaveTemp as string
tell application “QuarkXPress”

	save front document in vPathSaveTemp
	
	tell front document
		print PostScript file vCheminEtNom
	end tell
end tell

end run

before it was working with panthers…

Just ran with some error reporting in the script. I got an error of: Quark got an error: Connection is invalid [-609]

I put this bit of code in a tr block for the whole script:

try
tell application “QuarkXPress”
activate
tell document 1
tell page 1
set psFilePath to path to desktop as string
set psFilePath to psFilePath & “TESTFILE.ps”
print PostScript file psFilePath
end tell
end tell
end tell

on error errmsg number errnum
beep
display dialog errmsg & " [" & errnum & “]” buttons {“OK”} default button 1 with icon stop
return
end try

Or something like that. Can’t find any reference to it on the web. Can someone see if this is the same on their machine.

Cheers
