Interesting idea. I guess I didn't thought of that because
the _default_ entry in Adobe Reader is "/usr/bin/lp". So I
just tried adding an "r" to it, which failed.
I think it would be desirable to have the Adobe Reader port
work out of the box without _any_ change by the user.
That's why I suggest having the port add a wrapper script
as /compat/linux/usr/bin/lp. A simple one line script like
this one should be sufficient:
#!/bin/sh -
exec /usr/bin/lpr "$@"
Best regards
Oliver
