Archived thread 2264593 from Fedora/RedHat and derivatives. Markdown source: FedoraRedHat_and_derivatives/thread_2264593_Where_does_cups-pdf_output_to.md
As the title says I don't find any directory that cups-pdf outputs to when print with evince. I went to settings and configured the printer (there is only one which is cups-pdf) to output to /home/mysusername/PDF (I created the directory) but still don't see any output. There was no error message, it just went through the motion with notifications such as "printing blah blah" and "printing blah blah completeted".
Fedora 21 64 bit.
I have never used cups.pdf but I presume it asks you to give a name to the output, so you should be able to find that named file with command ``` find -name filename.pdf

There is a directory called /var/spool/cups-pdf/SPOOL but it is empty.
/etc/cups/cups-pdf.conf - where does that say it's saving?
