I tried to make a patch to solve the issue, but I got stuck. I wrote an email to the upstream author of cups-pdf Volker C. Behr. He pointed out some issue: and after checking his suggestions, it seems that one of his hunch is the winner: it is AppArmor. Try: 1. Delete the PDF directory, then try to print. Won't work, as mentioned above. 2. Stop AppArmor (sudo /etc/init.d/apparmor stop), and try to print again. PDF directory gets created, and everything is fine.
I have no clue what it is in AppArmor config, that causes this (I have very little knowledge of AppArmor), so this is beyond me. I guess this is an AppArmor bug. P.S.: Just for the record, Volker C. Behr replied in 20 minutes after I wrote the mail to him. So cheers and thanks to him from here too.
