set theFile to choose file of type "PDF "
tell application "Printer Setup Utility"
open theFile

Apologies for bothering the list with such a stupid question.

How can I use AppleScript 1.9.3 (OS X.3.2) to print a PDF file?

Finder is scriptable and shows a print command in its Standard Suite, but Finder ignores it.

Preview opens it if I ask Finder to do so, and will print it if I click the right buttons, but Preview is not scriptable.

TextEdit will accept an AppleScript order to print it, but it comes out as textual garbage since TextEdit doesn't know PDF.

I can drag and drop the file on Printer Setup Utility and it prints just fine. PSU is scriptable, too - but telling PSU to print the file does not work - nothing happens, same as telling Finder to print it.
