Comment 5 for bug 33127

pdf printing should work if the package cups-pdf is installed.

However this package needs the /etc/cups/cupsd.conf to say RunAsUser No instead of the default RunAsUser Yes.
Unsetting the RunAsUser option is unvise, because it increases security risks by running the cups scheduler as user root.

Could this be fixed so that the cups-pdf package would work as user cupsys and then making this package part of the ubuntu-desktop package so it would be installed by default? It would also be nice to add a default printer to the system that uses this backend, so it would be ready to go without any extra effort from the user.
