I have uninstalled cups-pdf and when I go any program "print" there is still option:

Well, I would have assumed that cups-pdf would be necessary for printing to PDF, but I
would like to see a screenshot of this "default empty field".
I have not installed cups-pdf and don't use evince for printing. But i
have tested the problem. After pressing File->Print... this window opens

Pressing 'Print' in this window results in the the error window unless
the field 'Name:' with the prefilled value output.pdf is deleted and
manually replaced by e.g. output.pdf. *g*
The console error is regarding invalid UTF-8 strings in filenames.
I'm betting the cause is idiotic filename munging by evince or one of
the lower libraries involved, which makes it a bug.
