Not really an error, just a PITA. I'd call that a major PITA, TBH. I don't usually print in that way, but tried it, just to see what happened here. Sorry (from your POV) to say, everything worked as expected. -- Regards _ / ) "The blindingly obvious is / _)rad never immediately apparent" Never much liked playing there anyway Banned From The Roxy - Crass

I "hate" Acrobat Reader for many reasons (as much as I even do not have it installed on my linux systems because is a hog program and tends to hang the system) but I recognize that sometimes is needed to fill signed PDF forms and also has nice printing features -well, when the application is able to detect all the printers, of course ;-). Anyway, a simple option you can try is by manually adding a custom printer in Acrobat Reader and check if that works...

I don't know enough to help otherwise. -- Carl Johnson carlj(a)peak.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

I don't know enough to help > otherwise. <snip> Argh!! I did upgrade to acroreat 9.3.1 from multimedia unstable upon these responses and the referenced article which was based upon 9.x. I even set a LID_LIBRARY_PATH variable in case it was not a typo. It still doesn't work. Setting the command line debugging variable, I found that it cannot find the PPD file. Does it only work if the CUPS server is running locally? In our case, we use a central CUPS server running on a non-standard port. This is reflected in /etc/cups/client.conf. How do we tell acroread where the printer server and PPD files are? Thanks - John -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
