You can use PHP header() function.

Try look here:

http://php.net/manual/en/function.header.php

and prints the pdf

PHP and javascript are usually used for generating web pages - there is no direct link to printing on either the server nor the client. Even in contexts where this would make sense, there is no printing API in either language so you'd need to use the facilities within the OS or another tool - and you've provided no details about this either.

Where is the PHP running? Where is the Javascript running? Where do you want the PDF printed (client/server)? What OS is running at the end where printing should happen?
