(In reply to comment #0) > I am trying to install cups-pdf. It installs but when I use print command, > there is no cups-pdf printer available there. I have tried reinstall process, > same result. cups-pdf package has the following package script with a faulty assumption that if cupsd is running that /var/run/cupsd.pid does exist. Like this: # First install : create the printer if cupsd is running if [ "$1" -eq "1" -a -f "/var/run/cupsd.pid" ] then if [ -d /proc/$(cat /var/run/cupsd.pid) ] then /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p Cups-PDF -v cups-pdf:/ -m CUPS-PDF.ppd -E || : fi fi It could have used pidof or pgrep instead. On Fedora 16 a test for an existence of /var/run/cupsd.pid always fails; this file is simply NOT created. A workaround - after you installed the package run, as root, lpadmin -p Cups-PDF -v cups-pdf:/ -m CUPS-PDF.ppd -E yourself. It appears that there is no way to create this queue with a help of system-config-printer although it will show up once created as above.
