Print with command line

Hello, I'd like to print with a command line, but when I execute adobe reader with the command /t, then a PDF file is printed on a default printer. Is it possible to print with a command line and set printer and print settings?

No, the command line has no such options, and Reader has no API to set them. You might be able to do this with paid-for Acrobat via complex JavaScript, not sure.

No, it's the same for both applications. And JS can't be used from the command-line.

You can specify the following settings only:

/t <filename> <printername> <drivername> <portname>
