[STR New]
In my environment, cups-pdf consistently produces pdf files of length 2192
bytes that contain no visible text:
~$ ls -l PDF
total 20

A sample of one such output file is attached. I have experienced this
problem with previous versions of Kubuntu and of cups.
My basic configuration is this:
~$ uname -a
