In: XFCE4 home folder menu: Edit -> Configure Custom Action

However, the above command: lpr %N is only good if the PDF or PS files

If a PDF/PS file contains pages that are different sizes or rotated the
output doesn't looks good. Print is cut off etc.
I have to open the file with "evince" and print it. I was trying to
sent a print job via "evince" without opening the file form a commands
line, but I don't
think it is possible.
I've "Adobe Reader 9" but I can not even print correctly standard
documents, something is messed up; the orientation is not correct.
If you want this done consistently, look for a CLI method to consistently force
the papersize and orientation.
Then add that into the commandline part for the menu option.
I can't help you with that part as I don't have that particular requirement.
Both Adobe Reader as well as the printer itself are capable of printing PDFs I
want on paper.
I was googling and there is no solution to it, it seems.
I have documents that I print frequently that have mixed pages,
landscape/portrait and printing it correctly from command line is not possible.
