Hi, I just suffered this...
I disagree with "Your assumption that the issue has something to do with ecryptfs is incorrect. The real issue is with file permissions. If your home directory doesn't have 0751 or more permissive rights (Ubuntu defaults are 0755), printing will fail" . The solution I found was to include in /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.cups the following lines in the /usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-pdf section: @{HOME}/.Private/ rw, @{HOME}/.Private/* rw, @{HOME}/.Private/** rw, Because the real problem shown in syslog was that apparmor prevented cups to write inside $HOME/.Private .
