#155: acroread attempts to use CUPS-specific optoins to lpr-------------------+--------------------------------------------------------
Reporter: broder | Owner:
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: minor | Keywords: printing
-------------------+-------------------------------------------------------- acroread seems to sort of half-grok CUPS - well enough to query the
library for a list of CUPS printers, but instead of printing through the
library, it shells out to lpr.
It also passes -o options of one sort or another, which doesn't work
currently, because our lpr almost always shells out to mit-lpr, so you get
a popup to the effect of:
{{{
The following error occurred while printing...
'lpr: illegal option 'o'
Usage: lpr [-Pprinter@host]] [-A] [-B] [-Cclass] [-Fformat] [-G] [-Jinfo]
}}}
etc.
I'm...not sure if I'm actually interested in investing effort in fixing
this, given that the long-term strategy is to actually use CUPS.
