Hi, I got Printer Pro when it was free for a day, and I've printed quite a few PDF files with it successfully using our HP Deskjet printer, which is on our home network. When I first got it, I had to have a sighted person do a bit of calibration to make sure the print came out in the right place on the page, but since then, it has worked well.
