The first line works (more or less) on the command line, but gives the warning:>GPL Ghostscript 8.62: **** Could not open the file lpr . > (I say more or less, because an image isn't printed correctly but replaced by a blurry box.)
I would call that "not working at all".
You are very strict ;-) or I didn't express myself very well: Despite the warning the file is printed, just that additionally I get the warning and a non-essential image is replaced by a blurry box. The first variant: cat test.pdf | gs -q -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pswrite -dFIXEDMEDIA -dPDFFitPage -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -sOutputFile='%pipe%lpr' - gives the same warning. The second variant: cat test.pdf | gs -q -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pswrite -dFIXEDMEDIA -dPDFFitPage -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -sOutputFile=- - | lpr works without warning (but still with the blurred box replacing the image). Inside xpdf gs -q -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pswrite -dFIXEDMEDIA -dPDFFitPage -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -sOutputFile=- - | lpr prints the page without warning, with the blurred box and unfortunately without expanding the page.
