Thanks for the link Steve, had never found Turbo Print in my searches before, and looks like they have a windows alternative called PrintFab.


Thanks again..

Check out TurboPrint


see:  file:///usr/share/turboprint/doc/html/13-2.html#13.2.Printing%20from%20command%20line|outline


If the program does not explicitly do it, the developers of
      TurboPrint might be able to give you some ideas on how to achieve
      what you want.

Now that the alignment works, I was looking to implement the printing part of the project directly into my software, as gutenprint requires users to click print every time (even if called as a Non-Interactive dialog in windows), and so was looking into various options that allow command line access. I came across QuadToneRip a few days ago, and it looks exactly like what I am looking for - however I cannot seem to find any documentation of command line options for windows users.

The utility allows you to make a printer run a nozzle check, etc, remotely through command line, and this would really come in handy for my software. I have been searching for quite some time, but then again, this is my first experience with a printer-based project...
