CUPS-PDF fulfills a much bigger role than playing stop-gap for applications not integrated with GNOME or KDE. It's also extremely useful as a way of receiving files from a variety of command line tools and daemons and making PDF content out of that. Thus, removing it once legacy apps have caught up with direct CUPS interfacing is not a good idea, since it actually has uses beyond desktop environments. -- Martin-Éric Racine http://q-funk.iki.fi -- cups-pdf fails to generate file https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/147551 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
