Connecting esp32/arduino to any printer (Inkjet,laser))

can i get suggestion on this how can we connect the arduino to printer?
i have pdf store inside my sd card and through arduino i want to send it to printer.
is this thing is possible.
as i have notices printer technology is not open source?
any idea?

Someone else may have better advice for you than I do, but I strongly suspect that an Arduino won't do what you want it to here. I think that you might have better luck with a raspberry pi, which you could install an operating system to and utilize the printer drivers as usual.

You would need to have a printer that can directly print from PDF for that to work. They do apparently exist, but most are not going to be capable of that.

the thing is i want to devlop a system as soon as it receive the PDF it directly send it to printer.
i am ready to do with rpi also
is there any good solution for this?

maybe try this: Printing at home from your Raspberry Pi - Raspberry Pi

And with your ESP32 or similar, you may be able to use this as a seed for internet searching:
