I'm unable to print PDF files from either a PDF viewer or from acrobat
reader.

I notice that the printer is setup as a CUPS printer and not as a
local printer : strange since when I first installed it it was
detected & listed as a local printer. I think a driver update alterd
that.

Any suggestions as to how to get PDFs printing?

(Ubuntu 5.10)

Can you print other files?

yes.

I removed the printer and simply plugged it back in again,
re-initialised it and it now works again for periods of
time. Sometimes it wont print, but a power on/off fixes that. Since I
dont fancy recompiling kernels and other such support fixes, its good
enough for now.
