IMO That would be allthemore usefull when scribus would exit after creating the PDF.

Through scripting, one can already get Scribus to create a PDF.
(And, one can -- of course -- run a specific script at Scribus start and get Scribus to automatically close after that)

It should then be easy to get that PDF to be printed.

Scribus also allows to print through scripts. I've never tested it, but it might also work.

At this point, I don't see an interest for adding a specific command line option, since it would mostly duplicate the Scripter's API in a less usable / readable way.
