I have an epson 880 that prints everything from Open Office writer, but wont print AdobeReader PDF Files? Am I missing something?

Adobe Reader kind of needs to know the name of your printer. If you're using CUPS, try setting your printer as the default in the administration screen; if you're not using CUPS, try exporting the name of the printer as LPDEST (export LPDEST=printername) then open Reader, open a PDF, see if you can print it.

You should be able to open a terminal, enter "ls | lp" and have that print; if it doesn't, you need to either define your CUPS printer as the default system printer or export the printer name in /etc/profile or your local .profile.

Hello there, I had a similar problem with the reader. Try this:

File ---> Print

Then click on properties in the top right of the window.

In the "Printer Command" bit it says

(This command should be fine on cups but for some reason it doesn't work here) So change it to use good old lp.

It solved it for me, hope it works for you.

Thanks Guy's, I tried both things and no dice, However it prints in Evince, so I'll stick with that.
