recommended way to print PDF files to PostScript printer?


Brand new to apsfilter, and got it all set up.
FreeBSD 4.7.  A PostScript ready HP LaserJet 1200 printer.
The test page printed looks GREAT.

QUESTION:
What's the recommended way of printing a PDF file when you have a
PostScript printer?

I thought I wouldn't need Ghostscript, but the only way I've found
to do it for now is...

pdf2ps 100009.pdf PrintPage.ps ; lpr PrintPage.ps ; rm PrintPage.ps

... which worked, but is a little off.

I thought apsfilter dealt with pdf files more directly?
I checked the handbook and couldn't tell what's recommended.

IMPORTANT:
I'd like to do do it command-line only. Not printing from X11 app.

Thanks!
