Hello [sqlab--gmx--net]!

In a Unix environment, as long as you have print filters set up
correctly you should be able to print the PDF directly from REBOL.
At worst, you'll have to write a small shell script that pipes the
PDF from REBOL to GS.
On windows, you'll usually just BROWSE the PDF file, so the user
can see a preview and then print it. If you need it to print
automatically from Windows you'll probably need /Pro features, but
maybe there are other ways too.
Anyway, a PS or PCL generator can be useful too! Any takers?
Regards,
Gabriele.
