I see all my defined CUPS printers in the Adobe reader print dialog and
they all work. I think this depends on having "cups-bsd" installed.
(Lenny still uses the name "cupsys-bsd" for the relevant package right
now.)

You can also set the printer name to "Custom..." in the print dialog in
the Adobe reader, then you can define the print command yourself. If you
are using KDE anyway then you can simply set this command to "kprinter"
(without any parameters) then you will get the usual KDE print dialog
with all its features once you press "OK" in Adobe's print dialog. I
like setting up my system like this because it gives me easy access to
kprinter functions like "Send to Fax" from within the Adobe reader.
