Package: cups-pdf
Version: 2.4.1-2
Severity: wishlist
When two print jobs are sent to cups-pdf with the same name, the second job's
PDF
file will overwrite the first job's file in $HOME/PDF/.
cups-pdf should use a convention like <foo>-1, <foo>-2 etc or similar.
This is especially a problem when printing from a browser (firefox) where the
job name is derived from the page title. Some web sites (e.g. my online banking
site) keep the same title for different pages one might want to print, leading
to lost PDFs.

It seems that Volker got around replying to this one before I did. :-)
As seen above, the requested feature can already set by changing a
variable in the configuration file. Thus, I'm closing this bug.
