This page gives the necessary command line options for Adobe Reader including how to specify a printer.

thanks for the page nas8e9
but I dont use acroreader (PDF-xchange pro)
I can drag and drop my files over a printer link so there should be a way without invoking any PDF reader/
just a simple Windows way??

any other ideas ??

I'm slightly Adobe Reader-centric, sorry...

I'm guessing that's Windows OLE/Class registration in action: PDF-XChange probably registered itself as the print handler for .pdf files, which allows Windows to call it behind the scenes when you drag-and-drop documents on a printer.

From PDF-XChange's change log:

Added feature to print PDFs from command line (/print and /printto command line arguments)

The /printto argument sounds promising?
