I also had problem this problem with Acroreader 8 and the Cups driver installed on the Windows boxes. Sometimes a few pages printed, sometimes nothing. When I removed the Cups driver from the clients, and only user MS, everything started to work again.

I had the same problem and workaround with Autocad/Archicad also.

I would suspect something in the CUPS driver that was triggered by something in Acroread 8  and Autocad.
