It would not load and kept throwing an error that it could not find the libXrender lib, IIRC, which was not in the depends. The eagle package was failing with the same error so I purged all of the 32 bit libs and both aptitude & eagle and kept getting that error whenever I reinstalled them. Installed kicad and epdfview and moved on. Both are installed on a 686 box and other then a little error in acroread, they are working well. The Acroread error is it prints the odd pages when you ask for even and vise versa. Not really an error, just a PITA.

Finally, when Adobe was working on the 9.x release I inquired directly to Adobe. The result was that I became a beta tester. And the outcome was that Adobe fixed Reader 9.1 so that I could see my printers. I have not had the problem since. I suggest getting the latest version of Reader. Version 8.1.7 is really old anyway. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

All very strange, as it works nicely here.
