The "Printer Properties" button is completely unresponsive for me.  I
can click it all I want, but it does nothing at all.  Nothing crashes or
freezes.  It just acts like I never clicked it.  I'm currently using the
package from the ubuntu repositories, though I had also been using
versions 9.1 and 9.2 that I had downloaded as .bin files from adobe's
website.

Until last night I was using the .bin installation file from adobe for
version 9.1.  I believe I installed that before I upgraded to Karmic.  I
know I've been able to use the "Printer Properties" button since I
upgraded.  But last night was when I first noticed that the button
wouldn't work.  So I checked to see if there was a newer version, and
downloaded the 9.2 bin file, and installed it.  The button still did
nothing.  Then after discovering that there was an acroread package in
the ubuntu respositories, I uninstalled all copies of adobe reader that
I found on my machine (9.2 and also an 8.x version that I think was
installed a while back from a deb file I downloaded from adobe), and
installed the acroread from the ubuntu repositories.  But the "Printer
Properties" button remains unresponsive.  Running it from a terminal
provides no debug information or anything.

It seems that it's related to something else on the system, since my
adobe reader 9.1 hadn't been updated at all for a long time, but the
button stopped working recently anyway.  No difference after upgrading
or switching to the ubuntu repository version.

I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 i386.  My other machine that runs Ubuntu 9.10
amd64 is working fine so far, but I haven't done updates in a couple
days.  After I get some printing done from that machine (since the
button still works and I can switch it to draft mode and grayscale),
I'll run the updates and see if the button still works or not (I think I
still need to switch that one to the acroread version from the ubuntu
repositories, though, too).
