Address Book - Printing selection

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Mac OS X
#1

Hi,
I wonder if any body could help me out of a problem I put me into.

I want to write a script that

  1. imports Vcards into the Address Book application
  2. Make selection of imported entries
  3. start print dialog for printing them out
  4. The user has to have possibilities to start the print action, change settings or cancel operation.
  5. The script wait until the print sheet of Address Book is terminated
  6. Removes the selected entries
    7 Closes the Address Book without saving.

Most of it works in my script besides of waiting for leaving the print dialog sheet.

Here is the code:

#open vcf file and start print dialog
tell application "Address Book"
	activate
	open "Users:ben:Desktop:halo.vcf"
	tell application "System Events"
		keystroke return
	end tell
	set selection to every person whose last name contains "To: "
	tell application "System Events"
		keystroke "p" using command down
	end tell
        repeat until exists window "Print" -- this part does not work
        end repeat                                -- this part does not work
        delete selection
        quit saving {no}
end tell

I have tried different combinations of repeat but nothing helps.

I would appreciate some help
