Hi Mark, cups-pdf uses /var/spool/cups-pdf/$USER as output-directory. I extended my .bashrc with following line: test -e $HOME/PDF || ln -s /var/spool/cups-pdf/$USER $HOME/PDF So I can use $HOME/PDF to access my PDFs. If you want to change output-directory you may also edit '/etc/cups/cups-pdf.conf'. -- Michael Gisbers http://www.lugor.de
