PDF PRINTER FOR CUPS
hanks to everyone from this thread for all their guidance. The sticking point in this whole process is that you need to be root to edit the permissions on the executable.
Install the cups-pdf package (I used version 2.2.0-1)
Go to System -> Administration -> Printing
Doubleclick "New Pinter"
Notice that there is no mention of a CUPS PDF printer
Open a terminal and tpe "sudo nautilus" and then your password
Go to Filesystem -> usr -> lib -> cups -> backend
Rightclick "cups-pdf" and select Properties
Go to the Permissions tab and click the "Set user ID" special flag
Again try to add a new printer
There is now a "PDF Printer" detected, select it
Select the Generic, Postscript Color Printer (Rev 3b)
Give it a name, like PDF Printer
Right click on the newly created printer, and select Properties
Click "Print a Test Page"
The file should be in your Home folder, under the PDF folder

sudo updatedb locate cups-pdf
if you still don't see it then...
Code:
sudo apt-get install cups-pdf
SEE 1:
Printer related unauthenticated.
family@familydesktop:~$ sudo lppasswd -a family Enter password: Enter password again: family@familydesktop:~$ sudo lppasswd -a root Enter password: Enter password again:
You're most likely not allowing certain types of access to your CUPS daemon. Take a look at the troubleshooting guide:
You'll need entries like this to start:
# /etc/cups/cupsd.conf # Default authentication type, when authentication is required... DefaultAuthType Basic DefaultEncryption Never # comment this line to allow encryption # Allow access to the server from any machine on the LAN <Location /> Order allow,deny #Allow localhost Allow 192.168.1.* # change to local LAN settings </Location>
There are other permissions you'll potentially need to grant as well in this file.
