While googling around, I did see a page which suggested I should be able
to see my printers
(http://blogs.adobe.com/acroread/2009/06/printing_with_adobe_reader_the.html). I do see that I can fiddle with the ~/adobe/Acrobat/8.0Preferences/reader_prefs and set /printerCommand [/s (kprinter)] instead of (lp) but that's not quite the same. If we have to go that route, does anyone know how to edit /usr/lib/Adobe/Reader8/Reader/GlobalPrefs/reader_prefs to set this automatically when users run acroread for the first time? Thanks - John
