When you are on a webpage, for instance in Chrome, and you select print, print to file, and then select a folder in which to save a .pdf output, you can only save the file as output.pdf, and THEN rename the file to a name you prefer. If you type a different name than output.pdf, the cups package does not print anything to file at all. Just closes and exits. In previous updates and versions, however, you could easily type whatever your desired print to file file name, and then have the file be printed to that file name .pdf. Strange!
