Hallo,

AbiWord on Unix can print from the command line. Its usage varies
slightly based on whether you're using the GTK+ or GNOME version of
AbiWord.

GNOME:
abiword --print=file.ps <input_file>
abiword --print=|lpr <input file>

GTK+
abiword --print file.ps <input_file>
abiword --print '|lpr' <input_file>

Where |lpr is the '|' sign and then your printing command. NOTE: you
might have to enclose your printing command inside of quotes.
