There are some pitfalls and the solution needs to be tested first.

Acroread will use linux system calls to start the shell. This results  
in the linux shell (/compat/linux/bin/sh) to start (linuxulator  
directory prefixing). The linux shell will use the same linuxulator  
directory prefixing to start /compat/linux/usr/bin/lpr. So we're in  
the same situation like with Acroread. So when you play around with it  
also try to not specify a path to the lpr call and tell us which one  
works.

Bye,
Alexander.
