I just learned about this from Abby:

I don't think there's a whole lot I can do, other than set up a cookie
message to tell people not to print directly from Linux acroread until
further notice, and that instead they should print to a file and lpr that
(presuming that this will work OK- do you know if it should?).
So:
1. is it appropriate to set up such a message and
2. should I inform cfyi or does someone on release-team want to do it?
Thanks,
Alex
