Is anyone using the cups-pdf system from
http://cip.physik.uni-wuerzburg.de/~vrbehr/cups-pdf/? It's a virtual
printer that can produce PDF files as output.
I tried to install the FC4 cups-pdf-2.0.0-0.1.fc4.remi.i386.rpm linked
from that page, but the post-install scriptlet fails. The scriptlet
contains:
postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
if [ "$1" -eq "1" ]; then
/etc/init.d/cups restart
( /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p Cups-PDF -v cups-pdf:/ -m PostscriptColor.ppd -E &&
echo Cups-PDF printer created
) || true
fi
The lpadmin command fails with:
lpadmin: add-printer (set device) failed: client-error-not-possible
and the "printer" is not available, nor is there an option to install a
"Virtual Printer (PDF printer)" in either system-config-printer or the
CUPS admin page.
Any hints appreciated.
