Dear Marc,
I managed to print something in Vista Ultimate with the following
command:
system(“C:/Program Files/Adobe/Reader 8.0/Reader/AcroRd32.exe /p
gpcard.pdf”).
(Still had to press the Ok button in the printer dialog…)
You’ll maybe have to give the full path of both Acroread and of the file
you want to print.
And I also had to change the file separators to forward slashes…
Here’s an old post that describes this and other options :

Best regards,
