Public bug reported:

Version information: Gutsy tribe 5 (2007-08-25)

How to reproduce:

1. Make sure that the CUPS/PDF_file_generator is used for printing.
2. Go to http://www.ubuntu.com (I used Firefox)
3. Print with CUPS/PDF_file_generator.
4. Check the PDF catalog, a file Ubuntu_Home_Page___Ubuntu.pdf is created.
5. Print the page again.
6. Check the PDF catalog, the last print doesn't end up here as a pdf.

What I think is happening:

The problem seems to be that if the title is the same, the same name
will be used for file generation. If a file name is already exists in
the PDF catalog, the printing fails silently.

A similar problem happens when printing from Evince. However, here the
problem is even worse. When printing from Evince, a file named evince-
print.pdf is created, and the 2nd document you try to print will use the
same name, and therefore fail silently.

How serious I think the bug is:

This bug needs to be fixed before Ubuntu 7.10 is released. The
alternative is to remove this particular feature before release. (and,
no, I don't want that, it is a really important feature)
