For reference, just steamrolled through this same saga, and finally
figoured out that Geany and Mousepad each use the same print dialog
(gnome?) which provides a "print to file" option, which provides to
choose both a save location and the output/save format (PDF, PS, SVG).
That might help some
Found interesting moment:
my home folder has two partitions (with AuFS), cups-pdf stopped to work after
such migration with messages:
[ERROR] failed to create user output directory (/home/norbert/PDF)

So, in /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.cupsd a new entry has to be entered:

Are you sure about your statement ?
When I read cups-pdf README [1] it is said Make sure if any of CUPS-PDF's
working directories (e.g. output) are located on an NFS mounted volume they
If user home is not in default linux path (/home/...) you need to
reconfigure apparmor, previous to Lucid you need to edit:
sudo gedit /etc/apparmor.d/tunables/home
an add your home directories path in:
@{HOMEDIRS}=/home/ /my_homes_path/
In Lucid you can do:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure apparmor
I'd like to output to the desktop instead of the cups-pdf folder.
I changed the cups-pdf output directory in /etc/cups/cups-pdf.conf:

But now nothing happens. The PDF does not end up on the Desktop not in
the cups-pdf folder. The log says successfully created.

Hi all,
We've configurated CUPS which prints correctly both in local (in
/home/pilar/PDF directory) and remote (in /var/spool/cups-
pdf/ANONYMOUS).
In local, we can print the pdf file in any directory we indicate (E.g.:
/home/pilar/PDF). However, in remote we are just able to print in

i solved my problem with: sudo chmod 777 -R /home/pilar/java

Had this issue on hardy, found this bug - thought I'd share my solution.
In /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin/cupsd , here is my /usr/lib/cups/backend
/cups-pdf section:
/usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-pdf {
#include abstractions/base
#include abstractions/fonts
#include abstractions/nameservice
Same issue for me using likewise-open to authenticate against Active
Directory. The path to $HOME seems not to be used by apparmor for
domain-users.

cups-pdf fails to generate file when user does not print to default ~/PDF
(apparmor vs.cups-pdf inconsistency)
My Hardy machine is part of a Windows domain, meaning my home is
/home/DOMAIN/user. This throws off AppArmor, and I have to manually add
the full path to my ~/PDF directory just to print a PDF. Seems AppArmor
is a bit buggy with non-typical paths.

I'm having this problem on Gutsy, too. Soon I guess I will be upgrading to
Hardy, but it is sad to have to upgrade the OS to fix printing.
My system is saving PDFs to ~/PDF. Or at least it should:
Out ${HOME}/PDF

Sean Diggity O'Brien [2008-05-08 5:36 -]:
There is nothing in /var/log/apparmor. None of the info above seems
helpful, so please let me know if I should look elsewhere.
Unfortunately AppArmor kernel errors do not land there, but in
kern.log. Please try
grep audit /var/log/kern.log
On my updated Hardy machines, I have to edit two files to get this to
work.

Sean,
would it be possible to attach your log files or a section of them so that I
can analyze why it is requiring

cups-pdf fails to generate file when user does not print to default ~/PDF

From /var/log/cups/cups-pdf_log:
Wed May 7 14:03:43 2008 [ERROR] failed to set file mode for PDF file (non

In case someone else is having these symptoms independently of apparmor,
the problem on my gutsy system was that there was no /var/tmp, and
without that, ghostscript refused to create the PDF file. I have no idea
what happened to my /var/tmp, but once I re-created it, cups-pdf worked
fine.

If you change configuration files in cups-pdf, then you need to do the
corresponding change in cupsys' apparmor profile. While this is slightly
inconvenient, we won't change this. cups-pdf is scary enough as it is,
so we won't relax the AppArmor proptection further.
Thank you! Martin
