In the ADOBE ACROBAT HELP exists a topic that explains how I can print a PDF document from the command line in UNIX/LINUX. That it says the folowing:

For example, to print the file sample.pdf to the default printer, type the following:

cat sample.pdf | acroread -toPostScript | lp

I use this command, indicating the destination printer in the "lpr" instruction, but the document has not printing.

cat <PDF FILE> | acroread -toPostScript | lpr -P<PRINTER NAME>

What it is made a mistake? I have a Lexmark printer.
