Adobe Acrobat Not Printing on Linux?

June 6th, 2011 | Linux, Science and Technology, ubuntu | No comments

Just installed Adobe Acrobat on linux and it’s not printing?  Just giving you a crappy error message when you try to print?

When you print, instead of selecting the default printer, just select “custom” and type “/usr/bin/lp” into the box that appears to the right.  Printing will continue normally.

Just one more thing in the list of easy fixes that never make it into releases of Linux.
