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 recent distributions the "RunAsUser" option in cupsd.conf is set to + "Yes" which removes these privileges. Please make sure to set + "RunAsUser No" if you want to use CUPS-PDF. + *** Starting with version 1.2.0 CUPS implements the "RunAsOption" no + longer. 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). + *make sure if any of CUPS-PDF's working directories (e.g. output) is a + NFS mounted volume it is mounted without root_squash! + *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 make sure it does 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 after restarting CUPS you will be able to choose "Virtual Printer (PDF + Printer)" when setting up a new printer in CUPS. + 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.
