Assuming you are on a UNIX-like system, you really need to setup CUPS <http://www.cups.org/> (or may be your system already provides CUPS). PDF seems to be the future intermediate format for UNIX printing <http://www.linux.com/article.pl?sid=06/04/18/2114252> and CUPS already supports printing PDF files, just run "lp your_file.pdf" to print a file. CUPS only have command line interface: <http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/options.html> -- Leo -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
