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
