Please correct me if I am wrong, but lpr does not understand PDF files,
only ps files. So, whoever want to try a PDF file with this, be
*absolutely* sure that it will work ... I have seen countless pages
being spewed out by printers who were sent a PDF files instead of a PS.

On the other hand, if 'lpr <PDF file>' works, I will be pleasantly
surprised.
