problems printing pdf

[Alex Maynard]

Thanks very much. Turning it into ps as you suggested seems to work.  I
tried printing the pdf files directly using the lpr command from the
command line and also using xpdf and ghostscript. If I typed

lpr file.pdf

is it supposed to do something like

pdf2ps file.pdf
lpr file.pdf
