Trying to understand the log file generated, I think this is happening because
Ubuntu now recognizes any anonymous user (guest) and gives them a temporary
Home in /tmp/guest-home.xyz
So in /etc/cups/cups-pdf.conf
Out ${HOME}/PDF
is followed and it does not get to the setting AnonDirName (or any other
setting dealing with anonymous users).
So these settings for anonymous in cups-pdf.conf will never come into
effect on Ubuntu so long as it has this policy of giving temporary home
dirs to any guest user.
How can this situation be remedied? Should there be a special user for
cups like "guest-print", with different abilities than the current
guest?
I think the whole logic of this will have to change.
I'm no expert. All I want is to be able to anonymously print documents
on an ipad to a pdf printer and then have them show up in a directory in
Ubuntu. And I want current real users on Ubuntu to be able to use their
own directories to save PDF files.
Changing to invalid, since there is nothing that can be done absent
further changes in Ubuntu to make cups-pdf anonymous use work.
** Changed in: cups-pdf (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Invalid
