Given the Mac's intimate relationship with PDF, this ought to be

I have an application that uses the Web browser in REALbasic to
display PDFs within my application.
This works great, except that the most recent version of Adobe
Reader's plugin for Webkit broke PDF viewing within Webkit
(although, oddly, it works in Safari. But it doesn't work in
REALbasic, nor in, any of the other webkit browsers).
So on the Mac, I'm forced to remove the Adobe Reader plugin, which
causes Webkit to fall back on its built-in PDF rendering.
This works fine, but my users just noticed that although Adobe
Reader in plugin mode offers a way to print the PDF, Webkit doesn't.
Since I only have the problem on the Mac, I'd be happy to rely on a
Mac-only solution. So: what's the easiest way to print a PDF
(ideally directly, rather than, say, scripting Preview, which would
make me have to open and display Preview whenever I want to print
something).
I also need to be able to print web pages, if anyone has advice on
that, but that's less important.
You can use Quicktime to open and browse PDF's
No requirement for WebKit then
As for printing, if you want to print the entire PDF I'm sure there
is a way via CUPS
A shell using lpr would probably do it
