i have had a similar problem with acrobat reader -- it turned out it
was using /usr/bin/lpr instead of /usr/local/bin/lpr.  one is lpr, the
other is lprng.  one works, the other doesn't.  trying to figure out
which configuration utility belongs to which lpr is quite a bit of
fun, as they're aptly named "lprsetup.sh" and "lprtool"

of course all that lpr hilarity ensued only after i had figured how to
prevent acroread from crashing on startup with:

% acroread
Warning: charset "UTF-8" not supported
Segmentation Fault
%

i wish i had something witty to put here, but this stuff just makes me
sad.
