PS: CUPS-PDf is still available via the universe repository e.g. for
those who need to install a paperless printer on a Samba share, for
instance.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been
any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue
for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.
** Changed in:
cups-pdf is not installed by default in Hardy or Intrepid either. I
think it would be helpful and useful if it was. Most people don't even
know this feature exists.

I am not sure if PDF should be available out of the box, but it is not.
It is only available after installing cups-pdf package.

Jan: the rationale for Ubuntu no longer shipping with CUPS-PDF is that
GTK2 and QT both recently acquired native support for printing to a PDF
file. This is accomplished via the Print dialog's Save to file...
option in all GNOME and KDE applications and doesn't require CUPS
anymore.

Creation of the PDF printer itself worked for me OOTB.

Fabrizio: this is specified in the configuration file.

Note however that, in practice, AppArmor prevents output to other paths.
If you want to use another output path, you also need to modify AppArmor
I personally have to run this on every fresh install to get it working:
$ sudo aptitude remove --purge cups-pdf sudo aptitude install cups-
pdf

Martin-Éric Racine: I don't know if it is the default behavior but I
believe that PDF printer should be available out of the box. This didn't
happen in my case (even with final version of Gutsy). So this is not
only the matter to set the PDF printer as default one but to make it
available at all.

as its default printer?

Jan is right and I'd like to add another thing, it should be possible to
know where the PDF will be saved (now it's ~/PDF but there's no way to
know that)

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. I believe that the package you are looking for is cups-
pdf and it should be installed on default Gutsy install. You can check
to see if it is installed using the command 'dpkg -l cups-pdf'. Please
check to see
It is installed but I added the pdf printer manually. Still I believe it
would not install the package automatically by adding the printer,
therefore I believe it was installed but the pdf printer was not set up.
