2013-10-22 Thread Stephane Peter
Public bug reported: There seems to be some problems in the CUPS filters handling PDF files, which can be shown without having an actual printer hooked up (this seems to be independent of the driver in use). This happens on the latest Ubuntu 13.10 but I believe the real culprit is in the cups-fil
