On the user's PC you can use javascript to trigger the printing (window.print) but, as Colin correctly notes, that will present the user with a printer dialog box, not automatically print the contents of the page. At any rate, that's not relevant until you get the pdf into the user's browser. To do that you'll probably use send_file which, iirc, will trigger a dialog that asks the user whether they want to save or print the file.
