Hi Folk
I'm getting on well with Arch apart from one problem, I can not print from Acrobat reader, it accepts the command and does precisely nothing, the jobs are appearing in cups but not being printed, I can print from Open Office and test print from cups but no cooperation with acrobat, anyone have any ideas? thanks
Pete

I don't know what DE are you using. In my case, I use xfce and when acroread starts with his stupidity I just change the print command to 'xfprint'. That forces acroread to redirect the print job to xfce's printing frontend, and problem solved.
Now, if you're using kde, I guess there is something named 'kdeprint', 'kprint' or similar. For gnome, I've no idea.
I hope this helps.
p.s. Sometimes, cups takes his time to print. When its taking too long I purge cups' temp files and restart the daemon.

They say that if you play a Win cd backward you hear satanic messages. That's nothing! 'cause if you play it forwards, it installs windows.

I had an identical problem. I simply removed acroread and installed the latest version.

Hi Kjon
Using kde here can't see any way to alter the print command
lpr -P laser -o PageSize=A4 -o PageRegion=A4 -o InputSlot=Auto -o MediaType=OFF -o Altitude=LOW -o PowerSave=5 -o TonerDensity=3 -o EconoMode=0 -o JamRecovery=False -o ColorModel=Gray -o Resolution=600dpi -o Duplex=None
This seems to be imutable

I'm using 6.1.3 that seems to be the latest in AUR ?

kjon@kjon-nc10 ~ $ yaourt -Ss acroread
aur/acroread 9.1.3-1 (593)
Adobe Reader is a PDF file viewer
