Hello, I need a whole lot of help with cups-pdf. I've been wrestling with this for about a week without success. There are no error messages when test page printed from CUPS web admin but no output either; there are no error messages from Windows, which is how I plan to use the PDF printer. CUPS works fine with other printers. thanks Cam This is how I set up the cups-pdf printer in the web admin page: device: CUPS-PDF (virtual PDF printer) make: Generic. There is no 'Postscript' option per the Readme file (http://cups-pdf.de) model: Generic-CUPS-PDF printer. There is no 'color Postscript' option. cups-pdf.conf is all default values, except these lines, which are now commented: Out /usr/home/Shiner/PDFs AnonDirName /usr/home/Shiner/PDFs I use these /etc/devfs.rules: [system=10] add path 'unlpt*' mode 0660 group cups add path 'ulpt*' mode 0660 group cups add path 'lpt*' mode 0660 group cups Error log from setting up the printer 'server_PDF' - what is the significance of the inability to write to /var/cache/cups/ppds.dat ?
