I am trying to print to pdf using CUPS-PDF. The output is supposed to go to
member files in/var/spool/<username> but the created members are all empty.

I am apparently missing some configuration settings but can't find what it may 
be.
Appreciate any pointers to how I can fix it.
I would check /var/log/cups/cups-pdf-Cups-PDF_log and /etc/cups/cups-pdf.conf.

I've never touched /etc/cups/cups-pdf.conf and it contains

#Out /var/spool/cups-pdf/${USER}
Out ${DESKTOP}

So, the output ends up in ~/Desktop on my system.
OK, I see. In my case it contains

Out /var/spool/cups-pdf/${USER}
#Out ${DESKTOP}

And privileges for cups-pdf is root:root so no surprise nothing was written. 
Will change
Out to point to a directory in my home folder.

Thanks for your answer. (I must have asked good question :-)

Good it worked out.  Yes, the question was outstanding.  :-) :-)
