I had just the same problem with Acrobat 9.0.x. After you do ie.Navigate(”test_file.pdf”) do also ie.Visible = 1 and check out the URL on the address toolbar ;)

in my case the URL was wrong, what IE expects is something like: c:\Documents and Settings\User01\My Documents\test_file.pdf

Good luck!

import win32api import win32print

win32print.SetDefaultPrinter(“\\server\share”) win32api.ShellExecute(0, “print”, “test_file.pdf”, “.”, 0)
