I finally contacted Volker Behr directly questioning how one is supposed to configure the package. He replied, I tried, and immediately found working!

And your name happens to also be inside file: /etc/cups/ppd/PDF.ppd Which has date on my system: -rw-r----- 1 root lp 22251 Jul 6 2021 PDF.ppd I updated this file you brought to my attention: IPL'ed the CUPS subsystem and in my ~/PDF I find.... -rw------- 1 mdlueck mdlueck 995 May 14 07:08 job_138-uex_job__2.pdf -rw------- 1 mdlueck mdlueck 53136 May 14 07:11 job_139-uex_job__3.pdf On this system, job numbers 138 / 139 were next. Why did it have to take so long (years!) to find out that Ubuntu changed how the CUPS-PDF package is supposed to be configured? Old style was update the cups-pdf.conf but then Volker changed to updating the PDF.ppd file instead. Seems the latest CUPS-PDF code was still reading the config file, but next it read the PPD file wiping out my intended changes. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2137224 Title: Label 1 behaving like I have it set to Label 2 in Xubuntu 24.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups-pdf/+bug/2137224/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
