How to print pdf file without opening PDF viewer print prompt in python

Question

I’d like to print a PDF file by Python, without opening any PDF viewer program (ex. adobe).

I have tried some code. It pop up the adobe program before printing.

first code

import win32print
import win32api

currentprinter = win32print.GetDefaultPrinter()
win32api.ShellExecute(0, "print", 'report.pdf', currentprinter,  ".",  0)

second code

import os

os.startfile("report.pdf", "print")

Any code I have to rewrite or any recommend program to use instead of adobe?
