https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/1675503 <- That has
nothing to do with this bug.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups-pdf/+bug/1166786 <- Sort
of, that describes the issue and admits the issue's existance, but does
not actually fix it.

What I mean by that is the apparmor profile for cups-pdf does not allow
local modifications by default. Bug #1166786 says you need to make
modifications to workaround the issue, but even if you do, your changes
will be wiped out when the cups-daemon package gets updated.

I attached a patch for the cups-pdf apparmor profile to allow local
modifications, but it will get wiped out too unless it gets integrated
into the cups-daemon package.

Sidenote: Why is the apparmor profile for cups-pdf in cups-daemon? The
pdf backend is in a separate package: printer-driver-cups-pdf.

** Patch added: "Allows site-specific overrides for the cups-pdf profile."
