This is highly printer specific. You need to go to your printer manufacturer's website and find out what language/PDL/printer driver the printer uses - PCL, ps, etc.
Next figure out what the printer query string is. From the website's downloads.
Then you have to send the printer query to the printer with perl - probably via ssh.
Since you have the docset already at hand, the manufacturer may already have some kinfd of tool already written.
