printing .pdf

[Tyler Aviss]

And just to be a bastard and further muddy the waters, I'll add this
little tidbit:

If you don't want to (or can't) install cupsys-client, you can install
rlpr and cupsys-bsd. At work we have some rather old RedHat systems
with a Debian changeroot. Cups is installed in the changeroot (because
it won't install/compile on the old RH) and runs from there, and rlpr
can be used from the primary RedHat to talk to cupsys-bsd and thus
print.

rlpr can also be used to print from a local machine to remove lp or
cupsys-bsd queues. If you can get stuff working with the regular cups
client though, go with that.
