Hmm.. I havne’t tried using the start and end pages, although I’ve found that 10.8 printing a PDF prints perfectly in the background as you’d expect.
I also put a ‘quit’ after the print line, that will quit the print monitor, although I don’t know what you’d do about quitting an application unless you were fully aware of the type of file you’re printing.
I guess PDF is able to background print given that it IS PDF?
