Hello all,
I have been trying for months to create a cups-pdf printer for my network. I have relatively new version of everything. Running on opensuse 11.2 with the tumbleweed repository(rolling releases). Everything seems to be installed and configured, but I get no output files. I have been trying to print from Windows 7. The virtual printer seems to be accepting the job, but then it seems to go nowhere. Not even:
find / -iname "*.pdf"
Can find the pdf file, and I am logged as root.
Attached are the log files, maybe someone here can make more sense out of them than I can.
I even tried the value on this web site: http://how-to.linuxcareer.com/using-and-configuring-samba-linux-unix
In sections 3.3.1,3.3.3, and 3.3.4
The only difference is that I got desperate and was trying random things. I added a create mask of 0777. I tried other values as well with no luck.
