Bob,
If you're open to a commercial solution, our Automate product can help with that.
A couple of workflow potential scenarios:
-Automatically receive and process email with link, launch web browser to selected site and then print the page to a selected printer.
-Automatically receive and process email with PDF attachment, grab the file and auto-print to a selected printer.
This could be done in conjunction with your EDI file processing. However I would need more info on the process triggers to map it out.
Feel free to reach out via email to chat in more detail or we can schedule a technical call.
Otherwise you can check out Automate here:

subject: How to automatically print webpage?
We have a trading partner that wants to begin sending us their shipping label instead of us generating it inhouse with UPS Worldship.
They have offered to either email us a PDF, or to include the URL of the label in the EDI document. Here's an example:
http://lb.123stores.com/bkaasv
What I would like to do is to automatically print this web page when processing the inbound EDI file without any input from a user, but I'm not quite sure how to go about doing so? Suggestions?
Thanks
