I don't think Kicad and its apps has any commandline options, else it has
been introduced recently without me knowing. There was once a try to
introduce some patches that enabled commandline options for every sort of
export. [1] I have used them happily at the time, but now they are too old
and are somewhat hard to uplevel for a bloke like me.

I don't think printing even works on linux properly, at least not stable,
BUT the plot options works fine for me, and I have only used that, since it
can export to both pdf and ps, which I would do when printing anyway.
