[cups] Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Trusty, print to file not working

[coxster dillon]

Hi,

I've upgraded to Ubuntu 14.04 from 12.04 sometime ago.  Previously cups would print to file no problem.  Since updating I've had to put the "FileDevice yes" in "cups-files.conf" to allow the web front to work; previously I seem to have put it in "cupsd.conf".

The web front end shows the printer and I can add new file printers using different drivers, print to file.

Previously print to file would place a file in "/tmp" and the web front end under jobs used to say pages 1 where is now it says unknown by any print operation and no file is put in folder.

No errors in "/var/log/cups/errors.log" which I tailed while printing from Gutenprint addon and gedit.

It looks like files appear in folder "/var/spool/cups" when printing.

>From my "etc/cups/printers.cfg":

<DefaultPrinter To_file>
UUID urn:uuid:55a1f72f-6be5-30c7-5c14-3fe098aa491d

I am stuck because there are no errors for me to research.
