How to make acrobat reader to use cups
Hi, I installed my local printer and it works fine, however, when I try to print a document from Mozilla, or acrobat reader it uses lpr instead of cups, how could I tell the program to use cups instead. Thanks Jose

edit /opt/mozilla/defaults/pref/unix.js pref("print.printer_list", ""); // list of printers, seperated by spaces ^^ pref("print.printer_list", "kprinter xpp"); or whatever printer you have installed with/or instead of kprinter & xpp. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://Wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org

The cups-client package contains a replacement /usr/bin/lpr so acroread works fine with cups-client installed. Jim

This part I didn't understand quite so well, because acrobat is using this lpr, but I though there could be maybe a way for example to choose a draft printer or the normal or high printer like when I print from Konqueror or Mozilla. Thanks again, Jose
