if u open a folder into bridge u can run indesign scripts from there to print contact sheets instead of exporting from photoshop.
It's in the TOOLS menu.

i need to print indesign files of varying lengths at different presets. i don't have the script do run through bridge in the first place. i either need to write one (looking for guides), buy one or find a free one (yes please). there were a few on the adobe forums, but none worked.

open all your pages in indesign, paste this in script editor app (change "myPreset" to the name of your preset), and click run:
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
set user interaction level of script preferences to never interact
repeat while (count documents) is not equal to 0
print active document using "myPreset"
close active document
end repeat
end tell- you could mod this to open all the docs from a folder for you, etc.acescence
