Instead of mucking around with printers and such I open the file in a pdf reader, using subprocess.call(). That way I also get a sort of print preview for free, and it works with the same code on linux and windows. I'm happy with that, although I did have some issues with file name encoding on windows. Hat tip: encode the command string with sys.getfilesystemencoding(), else it will blow up on windows.

Is it possible to pirnt the file directly from PyQt? Thanks Nahuel I use pdfs for checks, invoices, etc. ReportLab lets you do very precise layout easily. I just save them as a temporary file and then use os.system and an lpr command to send them to the printer (under Linux): Then cups worries about finding the printer, checking its status, managing the queue, translating to Postscript, etc. Not sure how you'd do it with Windows or if you can send pdfs directly to the printer.
