The only way I was able to find to do it (for free) was to install
GhostScript and GSView.  GSView comes with GSPrint.exe, which you can
call with a regular command line to send PDF files to a printer.  It
uses GhostScript for you behind the scenes because GhostScript is not
exactly the friendliest program to work with.
