Julio,
Here is how we use this command to print:
$returncode:=sys_ShellExecute ("print";$path;"";"";SW_HIDE)
The $path variable contains the full path to the document I want to print.
Best,
Steve

Julio,
Sorry, coming into this late...
Do you have WIN32API? If so, you can simply use the sys_shellexecute command
to print. It will use the native Windows application.
Best,
Steve

I do have PDF Viewer, but on Windows you can’t print from an off-screen area,
which means yo have to display the pdf on a form before printing it.
I forgot to mention that I need to just “print” and external PDF. Printing has
to happen in background and in some cases for 4D Server. So, no user interface
allowed.
@Luc Devar, QPDF, also from pluggers.nl, does not support printing on Windows.
