a tad of an emergency here, because i have some forms i need to fill out and file, but i can't print the silly things.

i'm running cups and acrobat wants to use /usr/bin/lpr; i do not get anything at all when i allow it to proceed. likewise xpdf. ghostview gives me errors before even loading the file, as does the kde pdf viewer.

so i guess what i'm looking for is the command string necessary to get acrobat to send through cups, i.e., what to say on the line where it says /usr/bin/lpr.

any ideas?


I chased down my /usr/bin/lpr file and found it is pointing to /usr/bin/lpr-cups.... this was on a Mandrake 9.1 box so yours may be different

CUPS uses a lpr/lpd emulation to provide the same function as lpr so all you need to do is find the lpr-cups binary and not the original..

Perhaps doing a
rpm -qa | grep -i cups and then a
rpm -q <output of last command> --list
to find the correct binary to send it to?


That's if it's a rpm system...
