Tom Haddon [2008-03-19 16:35 -]: > Could you explain how this is fixed? Does it now overwrite the existing > file, or create a new file with a unique name? I merely fixed the cupsys AppArmor profile to allow read-write access to ~/PDF to cups-pdf (the AppArmor violation reported above). Everything else must be done by cups-pdf itself (such as deciding whether to add a suffix or overwrite). As Martin-Eric explained above, the current implementation overwrites. -- When printing to PDF, if the name of the page you're printing already exists, it will silently discard the print job https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/161222 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Can you do sudo aa-complain cupsd and see whether the file now gets overwritten?

Yes and I suspect that AppArmor is the cause, since this works fine on Debian.

Re: [Bug 161222] Re: When printing to PDF, if the name of the page you're printing already exists, it will silently discard the print job
This is not a bug, this is a feature. The file can either be overwritten or get a job number appended. This is all configurable and there is no ideal default. However, because Ubuntu chose to use AppArmor, I wouldn't be surprised if this is being prevented from working by AppArmor.

This looks like a problem of the upstream architecture of cups-pdf.

Steps to reproduce: 1. Visit slashdot.org in firefox 2. Type CTRL+P and then select "PDF-Printer" as the printer 3. Note that the document has been created in ~/PDF/ as Slashdot__News_for_nerds__stuff_that_matters.pdf 4. ls -lh on that document so that you see the date of the document 5. Wait for more than 1 minute 6. Refresh the page and print it again using the same procedures 7. ls -lh on the same document and note that the timestamp has not changed and there is not other document in the PDF directory with a similar name Expected behaviour: The document is printed and given a name that allows it to be recognized but still unique. ** Changed in: ubuntu Status: Incomplete => New -- When printing to PDF, if the name of the page you're printing already exists, it will silently discard the print job https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/161222 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately we can't fix it, because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem. We have instructions on debugging some types of problems. http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures At a minimum, we need: 1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem, 2. the behavior you expected, and 3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
