[Bug 295318] Re: cups-pdf requires user to create output folder in 8.10 before working correctly.

[Attila Franczen]

I tried to make a patch to solve the issue, but I got stuck. I wrote an email to the upstream author of cups-pdf Volker C. Behr. He pointed out some issue: and after checking his suggestions, it seems that one of his hunch is the winner: it is AppArmor. Try:
1. Delete the PDF directory, then try to print. Won't work, as mentioned above.
2. Stop AppArmor (sudo /etc/init.d/apparmor stop), and try to print again. PDF directory gets created, and everything is fine.

I have no clue what it is in AppArmor config, that causes this (I have
very little knowledge of AppArmor), so this is beyond me. I guess this
is an AppArmor bug.

P.S.: Just for the record, Volker C. Behr replied in 20 minutes after I
wrote the mail to him. So cheers and thanks to him from here too.

Rgds,
Attila
