I just tried on my stable host. This used to work until a few weeks ago, but it no longer does.
Can you reproduce the problem?
CUPS-PDF has not been updated, but Ghostscript has received security updates twice in recent times. I'm thus extremely tempted to reassign to Ghostscript.
I cannot reproduce the problem with Ghostscript. I used cd /var/spool/cups-pdf/SPOOL while :; do sudo ln * saved && break; done to capture the temporary file, and then ran: /usr/bin/gs -q -dCompatibilityLevel=1.5 -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -dSAFER -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile="/home/ssd/madduck/PDF/stdin___madduck_PDF.pdf" -dAutoRotatePages=/PageByPage -dAutoFilterColorImages=false -dColorImageFilter=/FlateEncode -dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress -c .setpdfwrite -f /tmp/saved as gleaned from the log. This created the PDF file just fine though.If I use "sudo -u nobody" to run the process, then gs obviously fails, *unless* I make the target directory 1777, in which case it works and writes the PDF file.
However, gs, as called by cups-pdf, still fails to write the file in exactly the same setting.
