   The new acrobat plugin for Netscape is broken-in-our-environment
   because it tries to print using "lp" (at least under IRIX, prolly
   under Solaris, too).

Alex, this problem can be fixed one of two ways: Either change the
startup script to include these options in the final invocation of the
binary:

 -xrm "*lprCommand:/usr/athena/bin/lpr" -xrm "*lprStyle: BSD"

or put the following two lines in all files like
/mit/acro/current/distrib/sgi_53/Acrobat3/Reader/mipsirix/app-defaults/AcroRead

*lprCommand: /usr/athena/bin/lpr
*lprStyle:   BSD
