Here was my solution for those that need it in the future. Since i couldn't
find something directly in pdfbox, I used the Desktop to call the reader
file and then print that natively from the desktop. example code is here
public void printOrder(){
try {
File myFile = new File(finished);
//Desktop.getDesktop().open(myFile);
Desktop.getDesktop().print(myFile);
doc.close();
} catch (IOException ex) {
// no application registered for PDFs
}
}
