Tried it out on my Redhat system and it works just fine.

Richard, assuming that your printer is already configured and you want 
to print to the default printer
it is as easy as:

lpr mydocument.pdf

Where, of course, you specify your real filename instead of mydocument.pdf.

Note: the lp command is often interchangeable with the lpr command. 
That's just a bit of
funkiness from the BSD/System V split in UNIX oh so many years ago.
