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 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).
|
||||
NOTE: in older versions of CUPS (<1.2.0) you have to set the "RunAsUser"
|
||||
option in cupsd.conf to "No" in order to grant full privileges.
|
||||
* CUPS-PDF needs a fully featured UNIX-filesystem to work. Make sure if any
|
||||
of CUPS-PDF's working directories (e.g. output) are located on an NFS
|
||||
mounted volume they are mounted without root_squash! Other filesystems
|
||||
(e.g. NetWare or Windows shares) are _not_ supported!
|
||||
* 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, AppArmour or similar tools, make sure these do
|
||||
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 you will be able to choose "CUPS-PDF (Virtual PDF Printer)" when
|
||||
setting up a new printer in CUPS (a CUPS-restart may be necessary).
|
||||
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 .

Starting from 2.5.0, the SlackBuild prevents overwriting of
|
||||
configuration file (i.e /etc/cups/cups-pdf.conf).
|
||||
|
||||
Therefore, users of older versions (i.e < 2.5.0) who use a
|
||||
customized configuration file should save it before upgrading.
|
||||
|
||||
Sorry for the inconvenience.
