Ubuntu 8.10 has switched to Firefox 3.x now. This new generation does
not need the PDF print queue any more. Choose "File"/"Print..." and in
the list of printers "Print to File". Then choose "PDF" as the "Output
format". You can freely choose the file name and the directory where to
put the file.
Most other GTK/GNOME-based application allows to print into PDF the same
way. In OpenOffice.org use "File"/"Export to PDF ...".
In addition, generating PDF files in the user's home directory by CUPS
is very awkward. CUPS' print job processing runs with the rights of a
system user and therefore has no full access rights to user's home
directories. This requires complex logistics to maintain security.
Therefore we have dropped installing a PDF printer by default.
** Changed in: cups-pdf (Ubuntu)
Sourcepackagename: system-config-printer => cups-pdf
Status: New => Invalid
