Hello:
For a while I could not upgrade to Leap 15.1 because I could not make acroread (adobe reader) work. I did not see the cups configured printers. The print window of acroread only offered "custom" printer.

Acroread for linux has been abandoned by Adobe for quite some time It's probably best to switch to something that is being actively maintained such as okular. If acroread is a must-have, I guess Wine or a VM (running Windows or an old version of Linux) might be the best way to continue with it.
The problem is that okular can't handle newer pdf's with forms. An alternative is Master PDF Editor. The full version costs $70-US, but the free demo version is usable. I use okular until it doesn't work, then switch to Master PDF Editor when necessary. I should buy the full version, they deserve it.
Regards, Lew
The latest okular (20.12) can handle forms. Whether it can handle all possible forms I don't know, but it's certainly able to handle the forms my accountant sends me. Some browsers can also handle PDF's with forms - chrome can open a PDF with a form via file:/blah/blah.pdf Cheers, Michael
