[Gnumed-devel] Printing

[Sebastian Hilbert]

Hi all,

Just a quick question on printing.
The facts:

a) we are producing a pdf file
b) we send that file to kprinter

The question:

So krprinter knows *how* to print a pdf ? On Mac there is no such thing as 
kprinter but lp knows  *how* to print ?

MacOS and Windows both have printer setup/selection dialogs but no means to 
call them from the command line ?

Solutions seems to be to route the files through a pdf viewer

For the Mac one can potentially use the Preview app. On Windows there is Foxit 
(maybe Sumatra PDF).
