Ouch...
I'm note sure how to bypass this.
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...
