Some packages are "costumed" to use lpr as the command to print; but cups
have changed this. Now the command for acroread, kwriter, etc. must be xpp.
Try it, in my case all those packages are now printing fine, I have
configured my two printers:
A) Epson Stylus Color 760 attached to one of the USB ports
B) HP LaserJet 4L attached to the parallel port
I have also the Epson in cups as two differents printers, lp1 as medium
resolution (360 ppi) and lp3 as low resolution (180 ppi). When I try to print
from, for example, acroread, using xpp as the print command, I can select one
of the 3 printers/configurations.
Using kups you can also improve the printers results, I mean leaf margins,
graphical and text resolution and so on.
