Re: CUPS print to pdf not working

Post by NiksaVel » Fri Apr 18, 2008 12:15 pm

same problem here. it just isn't working no matter what I try to do.

first of all, you should change the driver for the printer from raw to generic/postscript. than it will stop trying to hold back jobs, but still nothing gets generated . . help

Windows is extremely fast after a fresh install. If you want to make it stay that way: - don't use it.

This seams to be KDE specific, cause under Gnome it works like a charm, so maybe some reconfiguration needs to be done under KDE.

I seem to have an issue with the CUPS print to pdf function. If I try to print a file, it doesn't show up in my /home/username/documents folder. If I check the printer's status, it shows that the job is being held. If I instead check the "print to file" box beside it, it will allow me to save the file, but as a postscript file. Can you guys think of any solutions to remedy this problem?


same here. but in printer selection there's also a choice for "print to file(pdf)"
that works like a charm!
here's a screen shot of what I mean:
