I tried to change the output directory to 'autosave' from 'PDF' by changing the /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.cupsd and /etc/cups/cups-pdf.conf files and rebooting. A PDF file is not created and the kernel log shows the following:

Oct 30 11:53:47 dell kernel: [ 341.940275] audit(1193770427.334:10): type=1503 operation="capable" name="dac_override" pid=5609 profile="/usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-pdf"

Anyone have any idea what I need to do to get this working. This works if I leave the output directory as 'PDF', and I was able to change the output directory to 'autosave' in Feisty. I reinstalled the PDF printer driver, but this didn't help.

Thanks!
