Hey guys -
	I ran into the same problem a while back. a quick hop to the official  
website:
	<http://cip.physik.uni-wuerzburg.de/~vrbehr/cups-pdf/>
says that it needs root permissions and gives a simple fix in your  
/etc/cupc/cupsd.conf file.

As an aside, I still haven't gotten cup-pdf to work properly from firefox.  
Text refuses to print properly. I've even tried just printing to a .ps  
file and using tools (ps2pdf , mogrify -format pdf filename.ps) and still  
get no results. If anyone has gotten anything going, please post.

HTHO and thx
	Seamus
