After printing to the "Virtual_PDF_Printer":
$ ls -al /var/spool/cups-pdf
total 4
drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root 18 Aug 22 2015 .
drwxr-xr-x. 15 root root 4096 Nov 3 2016 ..
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 6 Nov 22 18:34 SPOOL
$ ls -al /var/spool/cups-pdf/SPOOL/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 6 Nov 22 18:34 .
drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root 18 Aug 22 2015 ..
But this showed up on my desktop:
file:///home/tony/Desktop/Re___cups__Where_does_the__Virtual_PDF_printer__print_to_.pdf
So, HMMMMMMM. I wonder why this is the first time it
ever showed up. Maybe it was the "yum update" I did.
Go figure.
Thank you all for the help!
