Look into /etc/cups/cups-pdf. The individual spool directories must have |
| 20 |
proper access rights (like .ssh in your home) and match the UserUMask |
| 21 |
setting. Otherwise cups-pdf will not generate the PDF, simply because others |
| 22 |
might access the directory also. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
With all settings as default, it should look like this: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
$ ll /var/spool/cups-pdf/ |
| 27 |
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 54 2007-10-01 19:01 ./ |
| 28 |
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 78 2007-08-25 16:50 ../ |
| 29 |
drwx------ 2 jdoe lp 6 2007-10-01 19:01 jdoe/ |
| 30 |
drwxr-x--x 2 root lp 6 2010-03-01 13:41 SPOOL/ |
