Auto printing using Applescript

Question

Hi,
I am trying to get Applescript to automatically print a document from an application (Intaglio) using the standard Apple print dialog sheet. I have gotten this much of the script working:
tell application "Intaglio"
activate
tell application "System Events"
keystroke "p" using command down
delay 2 -- (seconds)
-- Some how select printer "Foo"
-- Some how click checkbox "Two-Sided"
--click checkbox "Two-Sided" of sheet 1 of window "Test.intaglio"
keystroke return
end tell
quit
end tell
However, I cannot figure out how to select a printer from the "Printer:" pop up menu. Nor can I figure out how to "click" a checkbox. I would be very grateful if anyone could offer any suggestions on accomplishing these two tasks. Thanks
-p

edit: make sure you have 'enable access for assisted devices' selected in 'system preferences-universal access-seeing'
On your computer you have an application called Accessibility Inspector. This will help give you the correct names for addressing all the elements of the window.
Below is just an example of what the syntax might be.
tell application "Intaglio" to activate
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Intaglio"
select item 2 of menu 1 of tab 1 of window "Print"
delay 1
click button 3 of tab 1 of window "Print"
end tell
end tell
