> Bug description:
>
> The cups pdf printer produces no pdf output file.
>
> After deleting the pdf printer, the add printer function does not work as expected:
> After selecting "Generic" as printer make, no pdf printer model is selectable.
> I instead selected one of the existing ppd files in /usr/share/ppd/cups-pdf
> but this did not make the pdf printer work.
>
> The bug started by my recent update from cups-pdf, where pdf printing did work,
> to printer-driver-cups-pdf.

I notice that you're using AppArmor.  Please check what the README
says about this.
