I've always wanted to pull code out of this project to make a simple utility or script that would print a PDF from the command line without needing to set up printers or run a daemon. If I have access to an IP address or a USB port as a user, I want to be able to print using a self contained utility. Does anything exist like this, and if not, is this now the right time (as I typically develop everything with Apache/BSD/MIT licenses.)

You should be able to do it with foomatic: https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/openprinting/database/nospoolerdocumentation https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/openprinting/database/nospo... (The prologue talks about non-network printing, but an example below uses nc to talk to a remote printer)
