Once PDF is generated you can print using C#.
Use the below code, make sure the PDF has not multiple page.

public void PrintPDF(string tempPath, string PrinterName)
{
const string flagNoSplashScreen = "/s";
const string flagOpenMinimized = "/h";
var flagPrintFileToPrinter = string.Format("/t \"{0}\" \"{1}\"", tempPath, PrinterName);
var args = string.Format("{0} {1} {2}", flagNoSplashScreen, flagOpenMinimized, flagPrintFileToPrinter);
try
{
Process p = new Process();
p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
p.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
p.StartInfo.FileName = "D:\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe";
p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardError = true;
p.StartInfo.Arguments = args;
p.Start();
p.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
if (!p.WaitForExit(5000))
{
if (!p.HasExited)
{
p.Kill();
}
}
p.EnableRaisingEvents = true;
p.CloseMainWindow();
p.Close();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
//
}
}

So your current problem is to print the PDF file without having to display a dialog, right?
In older versions of Adobe Acrobat Reader, there used to be a way of invoking the reader silently to perform printing. The discussion in the following thread suggests this is no longer supported, at least not silently:
https://acrobatusers.com/forum/printing-prepress/command-line-parameters-silent-printing-acrobat-professional/

This thread mentions the /t option that prints without displaying the Print dialog:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/619158/adobe-reader-command-line-reference
However, this thread is also old, so it might not apply to current versions, but it won't harm you if you try it.
If it works with Adobe Reader, you could invoke the reader from your program to do the printing.

If it doesn't work, consider opening the file using a PDF library like Lead Tools then printing it from within your application.
