Is anyone using the cups-pdf system from http://cip.physik.uni-wuerzburg.de/~vrbehr/cups-pdf/? It's a virtual printer that can produce PDF files as output.
I tried to install the FC4 cups-pdf-2.0.0-0.1.fc4.remi.i386.rpm linked from that page, but the post-install scriptlet fails. The scriptlet contains:
postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh): if [ "$1" -eq "1" ]; then /etc/init.d/cups restart ( /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p Cups-PDF -v cups-pdf:/ -m PostscriptColor.ppd -E && echo Cups-PDF printer created ) || true fi
The lpadmin command fails with:
lpadmin: add-printer (set device) failed: client-error-not-possible
and the "printer" is not available, nor is there an option to install a "Virtual Printer (PDF printer)" in either system-config-printer or the CUPS admin page.
Any hints appreciated.

print to postscript and use ps2pdf
That's what I've always done - well, now gnome-print allows printing to pdf directly - so most apps (that I use) don't need to go to postscript.

Sure, but it's kind of inconvenient compared to just selecting a printer. I had cups-pdf working a while ago, and it was pretty handy.
Also, I opened a PDF in evince, printed to PS, and converted back with ps2pdf, and evince displayed gibberish (although acroread looked fine).

I opened a document in evince and selected Print -> Create a PDF document. When I print, I get an error popup that says, "Generating PDF is not supported."
Besides, not everything uses gnome-print.

Should have guessed: it's SElinux.
Turning enforcing mode off allows the RPM to install.

Can you post the AVC denied messages in /var/log/audit or /var/log messages to the fedora-selinux list.

Already done.
