The PDF file which is produced contains .pdf extension already (the temporary file is something like /tmp/printing.123456/Print job.pdf, filename being always "Print job.pdf") so you shouldn't have to append the .pdf extension by hand. Try adding -p option to lpr command.

It sounds more like your printer doesn't understand PDF natively. That's not at all surprising - most big lasers only speak Postscript and plain ASCII. My department's printers are new this year; the old ones didn't do PDF. As I suggested, you'll need to include pdf2ps or something similar in the process; off the top of my head I don't know the best way to do that. I'm sure some of the more skillful Bash users who've already posted here can help. |
