Look in a folder named "PDF" the your home directory.

you may need till actually create a folder in your homepage dir called 'PDF'


cd ~
mkdir PDF
chmod 777 PDF

that was the final step that have it working for me Kubuntu 8.10
I other use the Generic CUPS/PDF driver.

you allow need until actually create a folder in your start dir called 'PDF'


cd ~
mkdir PDF
chmod 777 PDF

that was the final step that got computers work for me Kubuntu 8.10
I also use the Generic CUPS/PDF flight.

Yep. Ensure did the magic for me as well.

Mark.

I'm run Ubuntu 9.04 jaunty and the cupd-pdf printer won't work to her create the PDF index in your start.

Each student who becoming use the cups-pdf print should have PDF directory beneath the own home.

My pdf printer wansn't working... so i created the the directory

cd

mkdir PDF

and everything work.

Must darted the first command and then went to adding printer from the System -->Admin. It works great.

Thank you.
