There are a bunch of emails and bugs about this on Ubuntu related forums, but it seems that the problem is related to AppAmor? Does anyone have any suggestions to resolve the problem? Look into /etc/cups/cups-pdf. The individual spool directories must have proper access rights (like .ssh in your home) and match the UserUMask setting. Otherwise cups-pdf will not generate the PDF, simply because others might access the directory also. With all settings as default, it should look like this: $ ll /var/spool/cups-pdf/ drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 54 2007-10-01 19:01 ./ drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 78 2007-08-25 16:50 ../ drwx-- 2 jdoe lp 6 2007-10-01 19:01 jdoe/ drwxr-x--x 2 root lp 6 2010-03-01 13:41 SPOOL/ - Jörg

Pardon my ignorance, but what do you mean and match the UserUMask? My umask is currently set to 0022. Regards Dirk
