I managed to get cups-pdf to work in Edgy. Instead of root-nautilus'ing and changing properties, simply open a gnome terminal and execute the following:
Code:“sudo chmod +s /usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-pdf”
Desktop: Opty 165 @ 289x9, 1.38v | 2x1GB G.Skill, 3-4-4-8, 2.6v | nVidia 7600GT | Sound Blaster Audigy 2
Laptop: Intel Centrino Duo T2300 | 2 GB Ram | Intel 945GM Graphics | Intel 3945ABG Wireless
Thanks for this HOWTO. It helps me always to redo the CUPS-PDF installation.
Thanks for the help. Now I can save all the great things I find on the Ubuntu Forum (such as this how-to) as PDF documents rather than HTML files (which entails keeping track of both the page and the associated folder of images, etc.), and am seldom connected to a printer with this laptop anyway, (since I tend to use it mostly at away-from-home WiFi spots).
Thanks again!
Thanks. It works in Edgy, without setting the setuid bit.
However, can anyone help me with the following (open to other packages)
1. Change the filename and location of the printed PDF file, instead of a fixed one. It picks up the title of the page as filename and puts in in $HOME/PDF. I want to choose the location everytime
2. If I try "Print to File", it lets me choose the name and location, but prints the file as a postscriptfile, and not pdf. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
I have Edgy 386 standard installation
You will find the settings in the cups config file
/etc/cups/cups-pdf.conf
I did look, but couldn't find any options to let me set the path to be variable. I can change the path to another fixed one, but I want it to be prompted everytime I print (just as in ghostscript on windows)
I changed the TitlePref key to 1, but it still doesn't ask for a filename. What other value could I give it?
