Not getting any pdfs printed from any of the viewers.

With acroread I'm using /usr/bin/lpr -Ppsc750 where psc750 is the printer name in cups but no joy. Also tried lp, lpq etc.

Errors with unknown printer. Printing without the descriptor gives same error.

Seems that I need to get the cups descriptor recognised by lpr.

Any ideas?

Ta.

Sorted!

lpstat -d gives nothing so

lpstat-a lists psc750 as available

lpoptions -d psc750 to set psc750 as default

/usr/bin/lp from acroread and everything prints.
