How are you using cups-pdf?  Did you configure a PDF printer, or are
you trying to run cups-pdf on the command line?

Can you use it on the command line, but not in Wine?  Or can you not
use it anywhere?

If you run 'lpstat -t' do you see a line like:
device for Cups-PDF: cups-pdf:/

It goes here *before* it's finished printing.  This is for pre-
processing, and so that the document isn't lost if you reboot before
printing has finished.  This is a temporary location.

It's not being honoured because for now it's running cups, which uses
cupsd.conf.  Cups will then run cups-pdf, and cups-pdf will honour it's
cups-pdf.conf file.

On earlier Fedoras, cups.rpm created /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstopdf

On my Fedora 28 laptop it works *without* /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstopdf

I've had a look at the filters and ppds, and new cups seems to rely on
/usr/bin/gs (ghostscript), so make sure that is installed.

Can you check /etc/cups/ppd/Cups-PDF.ppd?  If you can, please report
the FormatVersion, FileVersion and cupsFilter lines.  For me:
*% cupsFilter:    "application/vnd.cups-postscript 0 pstitleiconv"
