Bug Description

The pdf printer automatically overwrites current pdf files with new ones if they have the same name.
It even does this if they have different extensions.
e.g. file.txt, file.log, file.odt etc.
These would all overwrite each other if printed to pdf.

This is true on Hardy Heron.

modify /etc/cups/cups-pdf.conf
and replace line :
#Label 0
by
Label 1

When it's done, all pdf files generated have an unique name. 'job id'+'pdf name'.pdf
