        //load the sample document
        PdfDocument pdf = new PdfDocument();
        pdf.loadFromFile("Sample.pdf");

        PrinterJob loPrinterJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
        PageFormat loPageFormat  = loPrinterJob.defaultPage();
        Paper loPaper = loPageFormat.getPaper();
        loPaper.setImageableArea(0,0,loPageFormat.getWidth(),loPageFormat.getHeight());

        //set the number of copies
        loPrinterJob.setCopies(2);

        loPageFormat.setPaper(loPaper);
        loPrinterJob.setPrintable(pdf,loPageFormat);
        try {
            //Print with default printer
            loPrinterJob.print();

        }
    }
}

Print PDF File with Print Dialog

        Paper loPaper = loPageFormat.getPaper();

        loPaper.setImageableArea(0,0,loPageFormat.getWidth(),loPageFormat.getHeight());

        loPageFormat.setPaper(loPaper);
        loPrinterJob.setPrintable(pdf,loPageFormat);

        //show the print dialog
        if (loPrinterJob.printDialog()) {
            try {
                loPrinterJob.print();
            } catch (PrinterException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    }
}

Print PDF file with Specific Printer

    public static void main(String[] args) throws PrinterException {
        // load the sample document
        PdfDocument loDoc = new PdfDocument();
        pdf.loadFromFile("Sample.pdf");

        PrinterJob loPrinterJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
        PageFormat loPageFormat  = loPrinterJob.defaultPage();
        Paper loPaper = loPageFormat.getPaper();
        //custom paper size
        loPaper.setSize(500,600);
        loPageFormat.setPaper(loPaper);

        loPrinterJob.setPrintable(loDoc,loPageFormat);

        //set printer
        String printerName ="\\\\192.168.1.104\\HP LaserJet P1007";
        PrintService[] pservices = PrinterJob.lookupPrintServices();
        if (pservices.length > 0) {
            for (PrintService ps : pservices) {
                if (ps.getName().contains(printerName)) {
                    try {
                        loPrinterJob.setPrintService(ps);
                        break;
                    } catch (PrinterException e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        try {
            //print
            loPrinterJob.print();    
        } catch (PrinterException e) {
