Hi
I've installed LMDE Mate 201303 and when I install CUPS-PDF to generate PDF files, I get no files at all.
Neither in my PDF folder nor in HOME nor elsewhere.
In printers I get this message "Estado: /usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-pdf does not exist!"
I'd tried to remove and reinstall, etc, etc, etc.
I was using LMDE XFCE 201204 and everything was OK. But with this new version, no, no.
Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Maybe permissions problems.

Install cups as root.

The simplest way to install things is to pull up a terminal, then su - it as root.
And then install system utilities without having to worry about sudo annoyances.

A simpler way may be to reinstall everything with Synaptic, which handles all potential permissions problems.
May need to remove *completely* packages, and then reinstall.
