[cups] Question regarding cups-pdf

[Felix Natter]

hello cups users,

I am wondering how the cups pdf printer (printer-driver-cups-pdf package
on Debian) works. There is always the option "Print to File" which
allows printing to Postscript and PDF (regardless of whether
printer-driver-cups-pdf is installed).

If you have printer-driver-cups-pdf installed, there is a "PDF" printer,
and the output is saved to ~/PDF for firefox and gedit.

But how about other applications? Where is the output saved to if I
print using the "PDF" printer from a java application?

I also checked /var/spool/cups-pdf/ANONYMOUS (ABSOLUTE path for
anonymously created PDF files), found in /etc/cups/cups-pdf.conf,
but I guess I'm on the wrong track here.

Many Thanks and Best Regards,
