How can i print Keynote files from Terminal

Hey there,


Is there a way, printing Keynote files directly from Terminal, as an old Windows user i was able to print office documents with "print" command or directly i was using associated program with print parameters in command line, i was wondering if MacOS or Keynote has same ability ?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

man lp


lp can print plain text, PostScript and PDF files. If you can have something else convert your Keynote file to PDF, you can then print the PDF.


You may be able to have Automator or AppleScript convert the file to PDF. Then you can set off that workflow or AppleScript using the 'open' command. And if you're going to do that it might be possible to put the print command in there too.
