CUPS-PDF

CUPS-PDF is designed to produce PDF files in a heterogeneous network by providing a PDF printer on the central fileserver.

cd /extra/src
wget http://www.cups-pdf.de/src/cups-pdf_2.5.1.tar.gz
tar zxf cups-pdf_2.5.1.tar.gz
cd cups-pdf-2.5.1

Compile CUPS-PDF:

cd src
gcc -O9 -s -o cups-pdf cups-pdf.c

To install it, copy cups-pdf to the backend directory of your CUPS server:

cp cups-pdf /usr/lib/cups/backend/

The permissions of the file must be changed in order for the CUPS backend to recognize it:

chmod 700 /usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-pdf

Copy the supplied config file:

cp ../extra/cups-pdf.conf /etc/cups/

Copy the supplied PPD file:

mkdir /usr/share/cups/model/Generic
cp ../extra/CUPS-PDF.ppd /usr/share/cups/model/
