Can I send an attachment to a printer via action on a path?

MVP

One of our customers would like to print the pdf attachment when moving to the next step.
As there is no action to send a document to a printer (apart from print a barcode label), i'm wondering if anybody implemented this.

We will have to do this for a custommer in the following months and the only way I could think about it was to create an sdk action, but this would require somehow to make the printer avaiable via the internet, as the servers are on cloud, and the printer is on premise.

The actions from my understanding are running as a service on the app server.

Another potential solution would be some sort of form rule that would prompt the user to print. In this situation the user is responsible for choosing the printer, tray and other print settings. If using an action you would have to predefine all of those.
