Print a PDF to a printer in Ruby

To print a PDF to a default printer.

doc = PDFDoc.new(filename)

# Setup PrinterMode options
printerMode = PrinterMode.new
printerMode.SetCollation(true)
printerMode.SetCopyCount(1)
printerMode.SetDPI(100)		# regardless of ordering, an explicit DPI setting overrides the OutputQuality setting
printerMode.SetDuplexing(PrinterMode::E_Duplex_Auto)

# Print the document on the default printer, name the print job the name of the
# file, print to the printer not a file, and use printer options:
Print.StartPrintJob(doc, "", doc.GetFileName(), "", nil, printerMode, nil)
