printing pdf files? -- solved

[dep]

quoth Roger Oberholtzer:

| I think you are screwed. I had a form to print in a similar way. All
| the printing programs ultimately use ghostscript. If ghostscript
| won't show it, the system won't print it. And, my experience is that
| you get no error. It just goes into the ozone. But, saving to a file
| in postscript and then checking it interactively with gv shows the
| problem.

interestingly, i found the solution. gv and ghostscript as shipped with 
suse 8.2 (and everywhere else i can find) are, um, suck-enabled. 
monicaware.

however . . . printing from acrobat is possible. the syntax is 
lp -d [printername] (in my case, LJIIIDSS; printername[s] can be learned 
by typing lpstat -p at a bash prompt, which any user may do)
