Package: printer-driver-cups-pdf
Version: 3.0.1-14
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Just printing to cups-pdf printer results in a filename with suffix "job-ID" and not stripped suffix "txt" as configured.
Example:
Input file = Bookworm.txt (plain text)
Output file = Bookworm.txt__enable-job_32.pdf
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?
Whatever changes in cups-pdf.conf I do, be it "Key: Label", "Key: TitlePref" or "Key: PDFVer"
will result in a similar output filename.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Output filename should be just
Bookworm.pdf
and PDF-version should be 1.4.
Debug log clearly shows that my settings
Label 0 (default)
TitlePref 1
PDFVer 1.4 (default)(
are not respected:

As we've established that CUPS-PDF behaves as intended, I'm closing this bug.
