(This is upstream) You are right - this information is taken from the backend's initialisation string with which it informs CUPS of its existance. I will change this to some more comprehensive name. If no one objects, I will make it "Virtual PDF Printer (CUPS-PDF)" which will result in "CUPS-PDF" as printer name.
