Editing .plist

Hi, I'd like to control the printing system in 10.3 without having to select options in the print dialog boxes. I already have all of my print settings stored as a custom profile named 'CoverPrint2'. This profile is stored in



Library/preferences/com.apple.print.custompresets.plist



and here is what the file contains (well, the important part anyway):



Code:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">;

<plist version="1.0">

<dict>

<key>CoverPrint</key>

<dict>

<key>com.apple.print.preset.id</key>

<string>CoverPrint2</string>

<key>com.apple.print.preset.settings</key>

<dict>

<key>com.apple.print.PrintSettings.PMCopies</key>

<integer>88</integer>







Okay - still with me? What I really want to do is to be able to enter a command of the form
Code:


defaults write xxxx



to enable me to change the
Code:


PMCopies



property. Then, I can have control ver the default number of copies printed. Anyone know the command I should use? Thanks in advance
