Interesting. I had not posted because I did not try this with my Debian machine. I did download the file, opened it in Acrobat Reader and xpdf, and was able to print to a networked CUPS printer from each of them. This was on an older Fedora Core 3 machine. My installed Acrobat Reader is version 7.0 for Linux. HTH, -- "As we act, let us not become the evil that we deplore." -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
