Binary package hint: cups-pdf
On Ubuntu 8.10 fully upgraded
Run a print to a configured pdf printer on cups-pdf reinstalled and purged (to be sure nothing is related to conf)
It don't create any pdf into user home PDF directory
( but it doesn't works even if i manually create PDF directory under my home )
it show a "/usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-pdf failed" status into printing window for examples on printing from Firefox.
sudo chmod 777 /usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-pdf
make failled status go away but it don't print.

Ok i have changed to old default permission of /usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-pdf
sudo chmod 700 /usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-pdf
I get bad status again... on printing
Thank you
I think is NOT a duplicate of https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ cups-pdf/ +bug/295318
because it doesn't work even if i create a PDF dir under my home directory...
Thank you
