Have you tried something like this:

$ nc -N host.example.com 1234 < filename.pdf

After the file has been transferred, the connection will close
automatically.

I use the IP address for the printer. Usually, port 9100 works for the
printer. To test my printer, I would use:

nc -N 192.168.0.100 9100 < test.pdf

See what happens. It may take a few seconds to print.
