-1. building CUPS-PDF
---------------------
-
- Edit src/cups-pdf.h if you do not like /etc/cups/cups-pdf.conf as name
- for the configuration file.
- To compile CUPS-PDF, invoke gcc in the src/ directory:
-
- gcc -O9 -s -o cups-pdf cups-pdf.c
-
- To install the binary, simply copy cups-pdf to the backend directory
- of CUPS (usually /usr/lib/cups/backend).
-
- Now copy extra/cups-pdf.conf to /etc/cups (or whatever location you
- selected in cups-pdf.h above). Here you can set all properties of
- CUPS-PDF at runtime without the need for restarting any services.
- (The defaults should work fine on most systems.)
-
- In case you want to use the color PostScript driver that comes with
- CUPS-PDF go to the extra/ subdirectory and copy CUPS-PDF.ppd to your
- CUPS model directory (usually /usr/share/cups/model [ /Generic ] ).
-
-
-2. setting up the PDF queue with CUPS
--------------------------------------
-
- Important notes:
- ================
-
- * CUPS-PDF requires root privileges since it has to modify file ownerships.
- In order to ensure CUPS-PDF is running with the required root privileges
- you have to make 'root' the owner of the cups-pdf backend and set the
- file permissions of the backend to 0700 (root only).
- NOTE: in older versions of CUPS (<1.2.0) you have to set the "RunAsUser"
- option in cupsd.conf to "No" in order to grant full privileges.
- * CUPS-PDF needs a fully featured UNIX-filesystem to work. Make sure if any
- of CUPS-PDF's working directories (e.g. output) are located on an NFS
- mounted volume they are mounted without root_squash! Other filesystems
- (e.g. NetWare or Windows shares) are _not_ supported!
- * CUPS-PDF is known to fail if the gs (GhostScript) binary on a system is
- compressed by upx (Ultimate Packer for eXecutables).
- * If you are using SELinux, AppArmour or similar tools, make sure these do
- not interfere with CUPS-PDF.
- (You can disable SELinux for CUPS by "setsebool -P cupsd_disable_trans 1"
- or have a look at contrib/SELinux-HOWTO to make it work)
-
- Now you will be able to choose "CUPS-PDF (Virtual PDF Printer)" when
- setting up a new printer in CUPS (a CUPS-restart may be necessary).
- To set up a queue for other UNIX clients you should select Postscript as
- vendor and the Color Printer as model for your new printer; queues that get
- their input from samba or netatalk (i.e. Windows, OS/2 or MacOS) can be set
- up as raw queues. On the Windows, OS/2 or MacOS system choose a color
- postscript driver for that network printer (the drivers for Minolta Page
- Works or HP DesignJet printers do a good job).
- Hint: If you want to create grayscale PDFs you just have to choose a
- grayscale printer driver, i.e. the postscript.ppd that comes with CUPS on
- the Linux side or a b/w laser printer (e.g. a HP LaserJet) on the Windows
- side. On the Linux side be aware that the postscript.ppd will not
- re-process data that is already supplied in Postscript format, i.e. a color
- Postscript will keep it's colors.
-
- Once you print to the new device the output directory selected in
- cups-pdf.conf (defaults to /var/spool/cups-pdf) will be created and all
- converted PDF files will be placed in subdirectories named after the owner
- of the print job. In case the owner cannot be identified (i.e. does not
- exist on the server) the output is placed in the directory for anonymous
- operation (if not disabled in cups-pdf.conf - defaults to
- /var/spool/cups-pdf/ANONYMOUS/).
- Furthermore if logging is enabled the logfile will be placed by default in
- /var/log/cups.
-
- The file "CUPS-PDF.ppd" is a modified version of the "Postscript.ppd.gz"
- that comes with CUPS 1.1.15 that is able to handle color output.
-
- You should have a look at the contrib/ directory in this bundle which
- contains several additions to CUPS-PDF which enhance functionality or
- supports the setup of CUPS-PDF on different platforms.
-
-
-3. note for MacOSX
-------------------
-
- Since MacOSX' AFPL GhostScript does not support the way of PDF generation
- used by CUPS-PDF you will have to use pstopdf instead. For this the
- settings of GhostScript, GSCall and PDFVer in cups-pdf.conf have to be
- changed accordingly. The values are documented in cups-pdf.conf .
