print files in PDF or html format from the linux command line

In their software available that can be used to print files in PDF and html
format directly from the unix command line, i.e. to a system printer on the linux server

For PDF files, simply:

Code:

lpr -P "printerName" document.pdf

This can also be used for text files (and printing the actual html, java, c, whatever), but for formatted html you will need to print from a browser.

I hope this helps

Need the PDF to be formatted as well

The PDF file will be printed the same as you would see it in a PDF reader...
