This is a stupid question, I'm sure, but can I send a PDF file straight
to the printer, from the command line, or a shell script? The printer
in question understands PDF as a native language.

My server is running HP Unix and the printer is an HP Laserjet.
Ideally, I'd love to find a way to just send the file to the printer,
without having to first open it in some application.
