macOS Generic Applescript for printing

[fred6633]

Hello,

This script works:

tell application "Pages"
print the front document with properties {copies:1, error handling:standard} without print dialog
end tell

However, I would like a generic script that prints the front document in the active application, so I don't have to create one script for Pages, one for TextEdit, one for Preview and so on.

Fred
