Hello,
I need a whole lot of help with cups-pdf. I've been wrestling with this
for about a week without success. There are no error messages when test
page printed from CUPS web admin but no output either; there are no
error messages from Windows, which is how I plan to use the PDF
printer. CUPS works fine with other printers.
thanks
Cam
This is how I set up the cups-pdf printer in the web admin page:
device: CUPS-PDF (virtual PDF printer)
make: Generic. There is no 'Postscript' option per the Readme file
(http://cups-pdf.de)
model: Generic-CUPS-PDF printer. There is no 'color Postscript' option.
cups-pdf.conf is all default values, except these lines, which are now
commented:
Out /usr/home/Shiner/PDFs
AnonDirName /usr/home/Shiner/PDFs
I use these /etc/devfs.rules:
[system=10]
add path 'unlpt*' mode 0660 group cups
add path 'ulpt*' mode 0660 group cups
add path 'lpt*' mode 0660 group cups
Error log from setting up the printer 'server_PDF' - what is the
significance of the inability to write to /var/cache/cups/ppds.dat ?

Did you check /var/spool/cups-pdf/root to see if your printout is there?
Thanks for your answer Mario.
Nothing in:
/var/spool/cups-pdf/root [root, wheel, 700]
/var/spool/cups-pdf/ANONYMOUS [nobody,nobody,777]
/var/spool/cups-pdf/SPOOL [root,daemon,751]
However, no CUPS error messages:

One question: how and where does CUPS store its user names? I notice
that the job was submitted by "Cameron". I used lpadmin to allow all users:
lpadmin -p server_PDF -u allow:all
lpadmin -p server_PDF -u deny:none
but no luck.
