You can use the setPrintService() method on the PrinterJob Object.

public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {

    PDDocument document = PDDocument.load(new File("C:/temp/example.pdf"));

    PrintService myPrintService = findPrintService("My Windows printer Name");

    PrinterJob job = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
    job.setPageable(new PDFPageable(document));
    job.setPrintService(myPrintService);
    job.print();

}

private static PrintService findPrintService(String printerName) {
    PrintService[] printServices = PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(null, null);
    for (PrintService printService : printServices) {
        if (printService.getName().trim().equals(printerName)) {
            return printService;
        }
    }
    return null;
}
