38 Well, I finally narrow it down to one build in functionality it that is build into some library, though nobody can tell me which library is it.
39 I'm talking about the option when you go to "Print" from for example Firefox or evince, when print window pop-up there is option: "Print to File" (this has nothing to
40 do with cups-pdf filter)
41 This option is not working as before. Prior to upgrade I could print from Firefox to PDF to any user sub-directory now I can only print to user home folder. Evince
42 will not print at all to pdf or ps file.
43
44 So that library screw me up, but I don't know which one is it.
