Description: printer driver for PDF writing via CUPS
CUPS-PDF provides a PDF Writer backend to CUPS. This can be used as a
virtual printer in a paperless network or to perform testing on CUPS.

Documents are written to a configurable directory (by default to ~/PDF)
or can be further manipulated by a post-processing command.

In cases where the system mounts home directories from paths other

provided by GTK+ and QT or the LibreOffice's Export to PDF feature.
