You won't be able to avoid the print dialog box completely - that I'm aware
of.

Probably the best solution for automating printing is to try and use the
Desktop Print Manager (which is an FBA that hides in the scripting
additions folder). It is AppleScriptable - and thus, glueScriptable.  That
should give you something to look at.  Sorry, you are running >=8.5, yes?

You could also try using a straight perl solution, writing out to
/dev/printer.  Of course, you'll have to do all the formating and paging
yourself, I b'lve?
