Public bug reported:
Since the update from Ubuntu 16.n to Ubuntu 18.04 the PDF printer
functionality provided by cups-pdf has disappeared (on several
machines). The "printer" just disappeared from the list of available
printers. In all cases the functionality worked properly before. It is
possible to install or re-install the cups-pdf via "apt-get install"
and it does run the install. However, the "printer" remains unavailable,
no trace. There is no error message visible of whatever kind. Printing
from applications using Cups-PDF-printer is no longer possible because
there is no Cups-PDF printer no more. Same bug applies to 18.10, too.
Please advise how to get back the PDF printer functionality in 18.04.
