Now that I remember, cups-pdf was removed in the upgrade. Just to make sure I remembered this correctly, I did a search, and found this: http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3114263.0
"The cups-pdf package is removed as obsolete in the upgrade to Maverick, breaking the PDF printer by removing the backend but not the printer installation, which has to be removed manually." This would explain why a purge & reinstall would work. Does anyone know why it would be considered obsolete? I think that's the real error here, unless there's some new alternative that we don't know about. -- Backend /usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-pdf does not exist https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/573667 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
