strange "feature"

[immanuel litzroth]

Opening a pdf file in emacs works really well. If you then try to
print it it will happily
print out a gazilion of text pages -- the pdf code. This behaviour
seems strange in that is
is almost certainly not what the user wants (he can
find-file-literally and print that).
I'm on emacs 23.3.1.
Is there a way to print the pdf directly from emacs (as a pdf)?
