Why do you want to"print" if you can convert to pdf using the command line?
Based on the original file extension you simply search for a utility that
will convert your original file to pdf.
How does one convert a text file to a PDF using the command line?
Using enscript and ps2pdf (goastscript) for example.

Thanks, but I should have been clearer and more precise. I was after a
"one-step" utility which went directly from text to PDF. (cups-pdf gives
the appearence of doing that but it doesn't). You question its utility;
if pressed, I could agree with you.
I don't want to do through the intermediate Postscript production step.
