Interesting. I had not posted because I did not try this with my Debian
machine. I did download the file, opened it in Acrobat Reader and xpdf,
and was able to print to a networked CUPS printer from each of them.
This was on an older Fedora Core 3 machine. My installed Acrobat Reader
is version 7.0 for Linux.
