PDF-Writer printer?
Hello all,
I need a pdf-printer: I have tried with the cups-pdf package, following the installation steps from (http://transtronics.com/reference/print2pdf.htm). Anyway, if anyone knows another package to get my objectives, I would appreciate any help.
After completing all the steps in the link before, I have tried to print a plain-text file in this pdf-printer with lp:
lp -d pdf_writer_printer -t result.pdf plain_text_file
A pdf file is created (although it doesn´t take the name I wanted (result.pdf), it takes the name "job_number-untitled_document.pdf"). Anyway, the created pdf file is always empty (its size is always 321 bytes). I have been looking the logs, and found that there is an error of ESP Ghostscript:

D [29/Nov/2004:17:41:34 +0100] [Job 9] stdin: is not a tty
D [29/Nov/2004:17:41:34 +0100] [Job 9] ESP Ghostscript 7.07.1: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1

At the end you will find all the error stack (/var/log/cups/error_log).
I don´t know if the error is because I am using lp in an incorrect way, or my cups-pdf configuration is incorrect...
Any ideas?
Here you have the stack of the errors: (/var/log/cups/error_log)
