I would like to be able to print an open document via DCOP, in a non-interactive way. I need it to write shell scripts that can auto-generate documents and send them to a printer.

Is it enough that it prints using whatever is the default printer / printer settings?
Comment 2 Dik Takken 2004-06-28 12:51:56 UTC 
I would prefer being able to specify a printer name. There is one problem though. It seems like it isn't possible to fetch a list of printer names via DCOP... I don't see any DCOP enabled kdeprint process running. Any ideas on how to fetch a list of printer names?

How to fetch a list of printer names:

  lpstat -h cups-server -p
  lpstat -p                   # defaults to "-h localhost"

We have command line based printing now, I consider that a solution to the problem.
