Problems Background Printing PDF from C# Application

hello,

we having lot of problems trying print pdf file in background using c# application executed via sql server agent. output should printed local printer (hp color laserjet 1600) connected via usb port.

we have c# application calls system.diagnostics.process run acrobat reader (weve tried both v8.0.0 , v8.1.2), open existing pdf file, , send local printer. code shown below.

system.diagnostics.process process = new system.diagnostics.process();
process.refresh();
process.startinfo.arguments = "/t c:\temp\testpdf.pdf"; // , tried "/t c:\temp\testpdf.pdf printername"
process.startinfo.createnowindow = false;
//process.startinfo.domain;
//process.startinfo.errordialog = false;
process.startinfo.filename = "c:\\program files\\adobe\\reader 8.0\\reader\\acrord32.exe";
//process.startinfo.password;
//process.startinfo.username;
process.startinfo.useshellexecute = false;
//process.startinfo.verb = "print";
process.startinfo.windowstyle = system.diagnostics.processwindowstyle.hidden;
process.startinfo.workingdirectory = new system.io.fileinfo(m_pdfpathfile).directoryname;
process.start();

weve tried every combination of process objects properties trying pdf file print. but, never works. code executes without error, nothing ever shows on printer.

more info executing our custom c# application via sql server agent job. sql server agent running local system account. job step type operating system (cmdexec), run set sql server agent account. command path , file name of our custom c# application (e.g., c:\temp\printpdf.exe).

again, no errors/exception , no job failures, pdf never gets printed.

how can re-code or fix our situation?
what can done/tried?

all appreciated. stuck.
thanks.

the command line arguments unsupported documented in
the acrobat developer faq: don't match specification.
can expect problems trying use adobe reader impersonal
server process.
