Bug Description

Binary package hint: cups-pdf

In order to fulfill a popular feature request (PDF printing as default), the package cups-pdf needs to be added as requirement to the package ubuntu-desktop. For this reasons, the cups-pdf backend needs to drop privileges as soon as output file is opened.

See Launchpad for more details:

Corresponds to Bug #82671 and Bug #82674
