Hi Ben,
I am the developer of CUPS-PDF.
I have been following this bug but not been able to reproduce it so far.
There is one question that might help to narrow down the possible
culprit: when printig via Samba, the username is "whyteb". Is this user
known on your Linux box or is it supposed to do an anonymous printout?
In case it is supposed to be an anonymous printout: what are the
ownership/permissions on /home/ben/PDFS (if that exists at all) as well
as /home/ben and /home? And is /home/ben a local filesystem or some
Samba/NFS/... volume?

Volker
Hi Volker
The user whyteb is my windows username on my corporate machine. It
should be an anonymous print out as I share my printers to anyone on my
local network or I am trying to.
The /home/ben directory is a local filesystem on the CUPS box.
The permissions on /home/ben/PDFS/ are drwx------ ben ben
The permissions on /home/ben/ are drwxr-xr-x ben ben
The permisions on /home are drwxr-xr-x root root.

Hi Ben,
with those permission, anonymous printing would only work if you set the
AnonUser to ben, since no one else is allowed to access the output
directory.
I read your other posting stating that after the update CUPS-PDF works
fine - so that resolves this issue but I will keep trying to reproduce
the original one to figure out why the backend failed. Thanks again for
the information you provided on that!
Regards,
Volker
