2. Download the attached script (source2.jsx) to your desktop.
3. Open a new image, or an image that will not be processed by the action, in Photoshop CS4. 
4. Create a new action.
5. Choose File > Page Setup, and choose the appropriate page size and page orientation, and then click Done.
6. Choose File > Scripts > Browse, and select the source2.jsx script on the desktop. 
7. Stop recording the action. 
8. Run the newly-recorded action to automate printing. 

Additional Information

To process and print your images using the Automate > Batch command, embed this new print action into another action that processes your images, and choose that processing action in the Batch dialog box. 

Paper type is one of the properties that is not accessible by the Actions or scripting system.
