I tried it with Acrobat Reader 7. More below.

Try putting "kprinter" as the print command in acroread5 or
acroread7's print dialog. It should bring up a window similar to KPDF
& KGhostview's print dialog.
OK there. Of course this adds a few point & click steps to a print
job, since you now have to go through the kprinter dialog as well as
the Acroread dialog. I will have to think about how to use this to
advantage.
In addition, I learned that kprinter naturally defaults to tray 1 on
my HP laserjet 2200. This is the manual feed tray, and seldom has any
paper in it. So I changed to tray 2, set that as a default, and hope
that it sticks.
