+
+
+1. building CUPS-PDF
+--------------------
+
+ Edit src/cups-pdf.h if you do not like /etc/cups/cups-pdf.conf as name
+ for the configuration file.
+ To compile CUPS-PDF, invoke gcc in the src/ directory:
+
+ gcc -O9 -s -o cups-pdf cups-pdf.c
+
+ To install the binary, simply copy cups-pdf to the backend directory
+ of CUPS (usually /usr/lib/cups/backend).
+
+ Now copy extra/cups-pdf.conf to /etc/cups (or whatever location you
+ selected in cups-pdf.h above). Here you can set all properties of
+ CUPS-PDF at runtime without the need for restarting any services.
+ (The defaults should work fine on most systems.)
+
+ In case you want to use the color PostScript driver that comes with
+ CUPS-PDF go to the extra/ subdirectory and copy CUPS-PDF.ppd to your
+ CUPS model directory (usually /usr/share/cups/model [ /Generic ] ).
+
+
+2. setting up the PDF queue with CUPS
+-------------------------------------
+
+ Important notes:
+ ================
+ *CUPS-PDF requires root privileges since it has to modify file ownerships.
+ In recent distributions the "RunAsUser" option in cupsd.conf is set to
+ "Yes" which removes these privileges. Please make sure to set
+ "RunAsUser No" if you want to use CUPS-PDF.
+ *** Starting with version 1.2.0 CUPS implements the "RunAsOption" no
+ longer. In order to ensure CUPS-PDF is running with the required root
+ privileges you have to make 'root' the owner of the cups-pdf backend
+ and set the file permissions of the backend to 0700 (root only).
+ *make sure if any of CUPS-PDF's working directories (e.g. output) is a
+ NFS mounted volume it is mounted without root_squash!
+ *CUPS-PDF is known to fail if the gs (GhostScript) binary on a system is
+ compressed by upx (Ultimate Packer for eXecutables).
+ *if you are using SELinux make sure it does not interfere with CUPS-PDF
+ (you can disable SELinux for CUPS by "setsebool -P cupsd_disable_trans 1"
+ or have a look at contrib/SELinux-HOWTO to make it work)
+
+ Now after restarting CUPS you will be able to choose "Virtual Printer (PDF
+ Printer)" when setting up a new printer in CUPS.
+ To set up a queue for other UNIX clients you should select Postscript as
+ vendor and the Color Printer as model for your new printer; queues that get
+ their input from samba or netatalk (i.e. Windows, OS/2 or MacOS) can be set
+ up as raw queues. On the Windows, OS/2 or MacOS system choose a color
+ postscript driver for that network printer (the drivers for Minolta Page
+ Works or HP DesignJet printers do a good job).
+ Hint: If you want to create grayscale PDFs you just have to choose a
+ grayscale printer driver, i.e. the postscript.ppd that comes with CUPS on
+ the Linux side or a b/w laser printer (e.g. a HP LaserJet) on the Windows
+ side. On the Linux side be aware that the postscript.ppd will not
+ re-process data that is already supplied in Postscript format, i.e. a color
+ Postscript will keep it's colors.
+
+ Once you print to the new device the output directory selected in
+ cups-pdf.conf (defaults to /var/spool/cups-pdf) will be created and all
+ converted PDF files will be placed in subdirectories named after the owner
+ of the print job. In case the owner cannot be identified (i.e. does not
+ exist on the server) the output is placed in the directory for anonymous
+ operation (if not disabled in cups-pdf.conf - defaults to
+ /var/spool/cups-pdf/ANONYMOUS/).
+ Furthermore if logging is enabled the logfile will be placed by default in
+ /var/log/cups.
+
+ The file "CUPS-PDF.ppd" is a modified version of the "Postscript.ppd.gz"
+ that comes with CUPS 1.1.15 that is able to handle color output.
+
+ You should have a look at the contrib/ directory in this bundle which
+ contains several additions to CUPS-PDF which enhance functionality or
+ supports the setup of CUPS-PDF on different platforms.
+
+
+3. note for MacOSX
+------------------
+
+ Since MacOSX' AFPL GhostScript does not support the way of PDF generation
+ used by CUPS-PDF you will have to use pstopdf instead. For this the
+ settings of GhostScript, GSCall and PDFVer in cups-pdf.conf have to be
+ changed accordingly. The values are documented in cups-pdf.conf .

+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line
+# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|' on
+# the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must make
+# exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also customary to
+# leave one space after the ':'.
