| Mar 15, 2017 at 9:32 | comment | added | Victor Domingos | I understand the point and I surely respect it, but isn't it the fact that it can be more likely to find a solution if the question is posed to two potentially different groups of people? Which in turn ends up with benefit for all. In this case, there is a Python side, which may be answered by Python focused people, and there is a Mac specific issue that may be better understood by those who know well macOS X, but may or may not be knowledgeable in Python, after all. | |

In my Bash script, I use for instance pdfsplit $FILENAME 3 |lpr to print page 3 of a PDF file coming from the previous action. I can also specify more pages, adding their numbers with a space between each of them.
