Hi,
on my debian lenny box, printing via CUPS works fine, e.g. using OpenOffice.
When printing from Adobe Reader, however, stuff doesn't work. It appears the problem happens during the first step of the process, when Adobe Reader talks to lpr. I guess this is the reason because I get an error message from Adobe Reader like:
The following error occurred while printing...
'usage: lpr [-cdfghlmnpqrstv] [-#num] [-1234 font] [-C class] [-i [numcols]] [-J job] [-Pprinter] [-T title] [-U user] [-wnum] [name ...]'
Looks like lpr complains about the way Adobe Reader talks to it, doesn't it?
This happens no matter if I print to my laser or to CUPS-PDF. It seems like Adobe Reader sends a command like
lpr -P CUPS-PDF -o PageSizeA4 -o blah -o blah
Is there anything I can configure to make things work?
