Print PDF file directly from Solaris 9 and/or 10

I am trying to figure out how to print a PDF file directly from Solaris 9 and 10. Based on other suggestions, I downloaded and installed Acrobat Reader for Solaris and run the following command:

./acroread -toPostScript < /tmp/invcdoc2.pdf | lp -d mc035

The output is:
lp: stdin is empty, so no job has been sent.
ksh: 13302 Segmentation Fault

Based on other suggestions, I downloaded and installed Ghostscript 8.5.7 for Solaris. I run the following command:

pdf2ps /tmp/invcdoc2.pdf - | lp -d mc035

The output is:
   **** Warning: Font Widths array size is smaller than character range.
GPL Ghostscript 8.57: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1

The strange thing is on Solaris 10, the error occurs - but the pdf prints okay. On my Solaris 9 box, it just prints the ps characters (tons of wasted paper). The printer is setup the same on both boxes. The difference is the OS version.

Any suggestions on how to overcome these errors/problems or another/best way to print a PDF would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Shannon
