Starting with version 1.2.0 CUPS will call any backend that is owned by 'root' and set to mode 0700 with full root privileges which should enable CUPS-PDF to print to any destination. I know Ubuntu to have modified CUPS (e.g. the web-admin interface is disabled) but I cannot tell what other changes they did. I strongly reccommend making CUPS-PDF mode 0700 again since this is to-the-letter within the specifications of CUPS. -- Volker Christian Behr Experimentelle Physik V (Biophysik), Physikalisches Institut Universitaet Wuerzburg, Am Hubland, 97074 Wuerzburg, Germany Office: Room F-069a +49-931-888-5766 (phone) +49-931-888-5851 (fax) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
