Description Simon Olofsson 2006-06-26 20:30:18 UTC 
- Starting with version 1.2.0 CUPS implements the "RunAsOption" no longer.
In order to ensure CUPS-PDF is running with the required root privileges
you have to make 'root' the owner of the cups-pdf backend and set the
file permissions of the backend to 0700 (root only).

Hi,

here is a quote from the Authors website:
"CUPS-PDF requires root privileges since it has to modify file
ownerships."
He recommends to change the file permissions:
