Hello, I am trying to find a script that would allow me to drop files into a folder and the corresponding application would open its file and print it. I know that InDesign 2.0 can be scripted to do this by naming the files that you put in the folder “.indd” Thanks for your time and consideration.

Here’s some untested code. It should, at least, give you an idea of an approach.
on open(fileList)
repeat with aFile in fileList
set theFile to (contents of aFile)
set theInfo to info for theFile
tell application "Finder"
set appFile to (application file ID (file creator of theInfo)) as text
end tell
tell application appFile
try
open theFile
print window 1
end try
end tell
end repeat
end open
