My cups-pdf pdf printer is not working.

I have tried all the usual stuff like:
apt-get cups-pdf and similar things.

Of course I use the proper way (like sudo, etc.)
As you must have guessed I am new to Linux(Ubuntu).
The point is I can't print PDF files. Have a look at the image:

I have also modified to the cups-pdf.conf file and have directed it to /home/{USER}/PDF
And yes the aforementioned folder (i.e. PDF) exists at its proper place.

So I think the main problem is "P2POutputStream" error which you can see in the image.

Please let me know what you think.

Thank You in advance.

Hi, cups-pdf is the right package, but you need to set up an entry in your /etc/cups/printers.conf file. Something like the following should work:

Code:

<Printer pdf>

Info PDF Printer

Location tornado:home/cups-pdf/

DeviceURI cups-pdf:/

State Idle

StateTime 1265778451

Type 4

Accepting Yes

Shared Yes

JobSheets none none

QuotaPeriod 0

PageLimit 0

KLimit 0

OpPolicy default

ErrorPolicy stop-printer

</Printer>

Also, I think the entry in you cups-pdf.conf file should look like:

Code:

Out ${HOME}/PDF

or perhaps

Code:

Out /home/${USER}/PDF

This second form makes an assumption about where the users home dir.

Cheers,
