I just setup a cups-pdf (virtual) printer, and configure it as generic manufacturer, postscript-color-printer driver.

When I print from any program it is saving the file to /var/spool/cups, which have root's priviledge, with following names:
c0001 c0002 c0003, but not in pdf format.

I'm not able to view those files as root or user. Also I would like for it to save the pdf output into the user's /home directory.

Anything I'm doing wrong? Any suggestions?

Thnx

I switched from the postscript-color-printer driver to the generic cups-pdf driver and now it seems to be working.

Thnx.

You can set the output in the config file.. its: /etc/cups/cups-pdf.conf (you need to edit it as root)

set "out" to something like this:

Out ${HOME}/Documents

Each user will then get the output in their Documents directory.

Thanks, it is what I wanted, to have the pdf files located ins specific folder.
