Technically GTK+ allows to send a file directly to a printer, but not 
QT4. Moreover, it does not work all the time: some printers can process 
PDF files, some cannot. It depends on the driver apparently.

So maybe there is a command-line tool that allows to send the PDF 
directly to the printer, but then that command-line tool must take the 
configuration as arguments. Otherwise there is no solution to your problem.
