I can verify that the workaround for acroread for FC6 works, and I've 
figured out a solution for the printing problem.

When the printing requester comes up, check "Alternative Print Command". 
For my printer named 'laser', I just entered 'lp -dlaser' for the 
command, and it worked.

I suspect it relates to some changes in cups, since some other kinds of 
printing (from plain text files, for example) work differently.
One thing I can say /doesn't/ make any difference is to install a file 
called 'cups-lpd' -- tried that, no help.

I'll put these things in the Wiki under Tips and Tricks when I get a 
chance. I also want to see if I can start using my gs 8.53 again. I 
haven't tried printing from Adobe Reader yet either.
