I have downloaded the file AdbeRdr9.4-1_i486solaris_enu.bin from the
Adobe reader download link . I have installed that application in 2
machines using two different versions . all versions(9.4.1,9.1.0) does
not detect the existing printers . So when I try o print from the
printing dialog from acrobat reader I can not find the actuall
printers.
Any explainations ?

$ cat /etc/printers.conf

In the input box to the right of "Custom" printer, type
"lp -d YOUR_PRINTER"
