Looking at /etc/cups/printers.conf, the only obvious difference between the print PDF created by the stock maverick cups-pdf-2.5.0 package, which prints blank pages after upgrading to your cups-pdf-2.5.1 package, and one created manually after the upgrade, are the Filter lines.
In the original one created by cups-pdf-2.5.0: Filter application/vnd.cups-raw 0 - Filter application/vnd.cups-pdf 0 - Filter application/vnd.cups-postscript 100 - Filter application/vnd.cups-command 0 commandtops The one manually created after upgrading to cups-pdf-2.5.1: Filter application/vnd.cups-raw 0 - Filter application/vnd.cups-command 0 commandtops Filter application/vnd.cups-postscript 0 - The "application/vnd.cups-pdf" line is not present when the printer is created manually after the upgrade. The PPD file is also different. The original: root@sides-laptop:cups# ls -l ppd total 612 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 21061 2011-04-21 09:07 PDF.ppd The newly created one: root@sides-laptop:cups# ls -l ppd total 612 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 20956 2011-04-21 09:14 PDF.ppd I'm also seeing very inconsistent behavior with regard to removing the PDF printer when the cups-pdf packages (both the stock one and your 2.5.1 package) are purged. Sometimes the PDF printer is removed, sometimes it isn't. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/600764 Title: Customized settings of cups-pdf are ignored -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
