Print PDF automatically from website

I have a program in a remote server. The users of this program generate a lot of receipt PDF files.

The users of this service need to print these generated PDF's automatically with their local printers. Doing this this manually is too expensive and takes too much time. Is there a way to automatically print the downloaded PDFs?

Automatic print email, works fine. http://www.automatic-print-email.com/

With this program you can setup your mail account and print message attachments in PDF. You can configure the frequency mail refresh on seconds, and choose the printer.

Depends on the network architecture you use, but you could think of calling a shell command from php to have the server OS print the files. Additionally, if the user printers are available to the server, you could specify the printer the document has to go to with something like lpr [-Pprinter]...

Of course this requires you to have full control of the server...
