I work with a system that downloads PDF's that need to be printed and then deleted on a semi-regular basis. Problem is, sometimes I forget, and it's just kind of a pain (it used to just directly print, they changed something on the web server), so I'd like to automate the process.

The files will always start with auth or conf as the first characters of the filename, so I'm thinking I could just have an if/then type statement, but I'm not particularly knowledgable about either Automator or AppleScript, so I was hoping for a little help. I do know how to attach it as a Folder Action to the Downloads folder, which I assume is the best approach. Any help would be appreciated!
