Like physical print out a sheet of paper Print?
if so, you'll have to use open() and print from Command Line/Shell.

I recommend creating a batch file or shell script to print your document then have processing run that script with open()

maybe use something like this for pdf:

take a look here, I've been able to print images but printing text should work too.
