Any KDE application can use the printing system available in kdelibs, even a 
commandline application,

Based on the general use case, I think it might best be done through a special 
mode for Okular.
It can read/import loads of formats and it will support printing anyway. 
Probably mostly a question of adding reading from stdin and going right into 
print mode.

Cheers,
Kevin
