When I need to print a PDF from xpdf (goofy Motif interface, grumble,
grumble) I just put 'lpr' into the dialog that the print command pops
up, and it just works. There's probably some kind of configuration
change that I could do to make that permanent, but it's not that
important to me, so I continue to type in 'lpr' whenever I need to
print from xpdf.

Someone better than me at System Administration can probably explain
what's going on.

Don't all speak at once. ;)
