Since my last software update, I can no longer get the :hardcopy function in vim to ouput to the default PDF printer, though it indicates "Print job sent", ie, I do not find the expected pdf output in ~/PDF as before. Also,

$ cat doc.txt|lp

No longer puts a pdf into ~/PDF as before.  I have tried

$ sudo find  / -name 'doc*.pdf'

to see if it goes anywhere else, but no success. I have confirmed that /etc/cups/cups-pdf.conf has output set properly at the un-commented line:

> Out ${HOME}/PDF

While,

$ lpstat-d

answers:

$ system default destination: PDF

and lp's response to

$ cat doc.txt|lp

is:

$ request id is PDF-2635 (0 file(s))

still, as above, nothing to show for it in ~/PDF, or anywhere else.

I have even removed and installed again ghostscript and cups-pdf.

I am using the 32 bit Trisquel 7, and am a bit timid about doing the upgrade to 8 right now. I think I would like to wait for bugs to disperse a bit.

Can it be that recent upgrades have left me in the dust on this score, or is there something else I should investigate?

Thanks in advance for any sage advice
