How to print specific pages from the command line

I saw no way to do this using the :print command. Nothing was mentioned about this capability in the man pages or on the documentation on the project's website, so I'm inclined to think that it's not currently available.

I created an issue in their issue tracker to either:

1. explain how to do this
2. implement this feature down the road

This is the ticket: Possible to print a range of pages from a PDF?

I know it's a little late for an answer for the OP, but anyone finding this might want to check out my duplexpr project on sourceforge. It not only emulates duplex printing for non-duplex printers, but also allows you to print more than one print job at a time in a batch so that you only have to remove and reinsert the pages once for the whole batch.

Duplexpr supports both command line and gui interfaces. It's is written in bash with a number of reusable functions so it's relatively easy to modify. I've been using it daily for over a decade with several different printers and am continuing to develop it.

If you just want to print duplex once in awhile or need to access all the fancy features which your printer supports, then also check out xpp. It will do almost anything your printer can do, but you have to tell it what you want each time which can get a little old if you use it a lot.
