Description cornosier 2021-11-27 10:05:06 UTC
Since version cups-pdf-3.0.1-17.5, a 2kb file remains in the /var/spool folder whatever the original file is. 
Printing with cups-pdf-3.0.1-14 is done normally, the file is in the expected location
Thank you for your attention

The cups-pdf-3.0.1-17.6.x86_64 version contains the same defect

Comment 2 Robert Marcano 2021-11-29 13:53:33 UTC
Greetings. Are you using the default cups-pdf configuration? or in other words, have you modified the file /etc/cups/cups-pdf.conf?

Please run the command:

  journalctl -u cups -e

after printing in order to see if an error is being registered and please attach it to the bug report.

Note: Check if some personal information is present and obfuscate it before uploading.

Sorry, I didn't see your answer.

I use the default setting

I just tested with cups-pdf-3.0.1-17.8.x86_64, it does not work.

Here is the result of journalctl -u cups -e an aborted print

From where is that cups-pdf-3.0.1-17.8.x86_64 release, the latest Fedora 35 packaged version is cups-pdf-3.0.1-14.fc35. 

I think you have another version installed form another origin. Can you attach the output of `rpm -qi cups-pdf` when that version is installed?

Comment 5 cornosier 2021-12-03 16:19:15 UTC
You are right, cups-pdf-3.0.1-17.8.x86_64 comes from a third party repository which is used by another program.
Sorry for the inconvenience

No problem, you could try to exclude cups-pdf on that repo file with the excludepkgs option so the Fedora version isn't overridden.
