I found that it fails if you don't have a 'PDF' directory in your home directory (since the default cups-pdf config is to print to ~/PDF).
You can get away with permissions of 0701 on your home directory. The main thing is that "other" users have at least +x permission, so that cups-pdf can at least navigate to the 'PDF' directory within. This isn't as bad as 0777 on your home directory, because, even though other users will be able to chdir to your home dir, they won't be able to list the contents, or read/write/delete any files. If they guess directory names (ie, 'Documents'), they may be able to read stuff within those directories, depending on the dir/file permissions. -- cups-pdf printer not generating PDF file. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212280 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
