[ale] preferred pdf reader

[Todor Fassl]

Both the  desktop workstations and the print server have the 
fonts-liberation package installed.

Right now, I can't provide any more information about the printing 
problems. Technically, I'm not the desktop support person. She just said 
a lot ofthe time people can't print their bdf docs and asked if there 
was another pdf program they could use. With something like printing, 
it's hard to tell where desktop support endds and server admin begins. I 
set up the print server, installed linux and cups on it but our desktop 
support erson configured the print queues.  I don't know too much about 
that stuff. But it occurs to me that if I understand linux printing 
correctly, the print server is responsible for formatting documents 
before sending them off to the printer. So this would be a cups problem, 
not an evince problem. Is that right?
