out of interest, how do you print a document

no, no. i am talking about being in a file browser, not in a document
editor. lets say i find foo.txt or bar.png or baz.pdf and i want to
print it. what do i do?
because in a command line environment i don't have to start up an
editor, i just type "lpr foo.txt". it seems to me that this *must* be
possible from the GUI equivalent, but in GNOME at least i cannot find
it.
Do you mean something like the Windows 'Run' command? I don't think
Gnome has that, or I've never seen it. Of course Gnome does have a
terminal to instead of running the command it's open the terminal and
run the command. Not a big deal really.
I'm sure there is a finer point here?
