Printing From Preview And Acrobat Under Tiger (10.4.2)

[net-buoy]

We have been printing without issue using a linux print server runing .23 and a client.conf pointing at the linux box from mac os 10.3 hosts.

we just brought in a tiger box, edited the client.conf and tried to print a pdf.... while i knew better than expect to print from acrobat, i was dismayed to find that we received the same error under preview number of printers served by a linux server.

just for grins i saved the file as a pdf on the desktop and printed it from the command line....
> lp -d printer -tpostscript file.pdf
it came back telling it was ignoring the print option and voila, out came the file lickety split....

the error_log log files are voluminous and we get the same data over and over but there are no jobs pending. i get the following log entries, nothing more:
