In any event, I have just reinstalled cups/cups-pdf, and pdf generation is working now. I note that when I filed my original report, I had the uptodate cups-pdf, but cups itself (due to some dependency trouble) was version 1.3.8-1+lenny6. Perhaps the error was due to some incompatibility between the old cups and the current cups-pdf? I suppose that I can try downgrading cups to see if I can reproduce the error. If that's indeed the problem, does that mean that cups-pdf needs a versioned dependency on a recent cups?
