Having now tested this more, I found that cups-pdf prints nicely to the
default "PDF" directory under the home directory, when it is set to
print there. However, no other directory seems to do! When I tried to
set output directory to "PDFPrinter", printing failed with log entries

Wed Dec  5 08:40:35 2007  [ERROR] failed to create directory
(/home/<user>/PDFPrinter)
Wed Dec  5 08:40:35 2007  [ERROR] failed to create user output directory
(/home/<user>/PDFPrinter)

So cups-pdf can only create directory "/home/<user>/PDF" and create
files there. Nothing else works.

Honestly, I have no idea why this is. Is it a bug or am I just missing
something obvious?
