The printer icon is another implementation now. It is provided by system-config-printer and not by gnome-cups-manager any more. system-config-printer replaces gnome-cups-manager because gnome-cups-manager is not maintained any more upstream. system-config-printer is developed very actively. In system-config-printer the icon stays if it once appeared, but it is grayed out if the local print queues are empty.

It looks like that you are trying to generate PDF files by printing files as root (destination /root/PDFPrinter). Perhaps AppArmor can only cope with /home/$USER/ home directories. Try as normal user at first.

Syncing the AppArmor profile with the PDF destination is difficult, once because only root can change the AppArmor configuration and normal users change their PDF destinations and second, every user can set his PDF destination independently, to a different place. The AppArmor profile opens up only one place.
