From: Paul Cartwright on 18 Jun 2008 14:40 I wanted to print a 1-page coupon that was a PDF doc. Tried adobe reader and it gave me a whole error page output. kpdf printed it just fine adobe error: the following error occured while printing... `usage: lpr [-cdfghlmnpqrst][-#num][-1234 font][ -C class][-i [numcols]] [-j job][-Pprinter][-T title][-U user][-wnum][-name...]' I'm assuming this is because adobe reader is setup with LPR ?? as opposed to CUPS?? if so, how do I change it to CUPS ?? oh yeah, running Lenny on my desktop just ran the latest updates this morning.. -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800 Registered Ubuntu User #12459 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

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.) > oh yeah, running Lenny on my desktop > just ran the latest updates this morning.. 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. -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

If not, does changing the command to "/usr/bin/lpr" improve the situation?

I changed it to custom and used /usr/bin/lpr as the command. It accepted it, then did nothing.
