3d printer, PDF virtual printer won't work, please help!

[Frank Peng]

Hi, 

I installed Samba 3.0.7 and CUPS 1.1.21 and
CUPS-PDF1.6.4 on Slackware 8.1. I added 2 printers to
CUPS from Win2K.  They are working via LPD and SMB.

When I added the 3rd printer, a PDF virtual printer,
it won't work.

I checked the cups-pdf_log. it says "identification
string sent". Nothing PDF file created. 

I checked the cups-pdf.c program, I found when CUPS
feed cups-pdf with only 1 parameter, cups-pdf will
return with this message.

I cannot understand why CUPS call cups-pdf with only 1
parameter. It should tell it the user, the file name,
the directory, password,...

I have seen the file has already spooled at
/var/spool/cups, but nothing in /var/spool/cups-pdf.

I did not understand how CUPS call programs at its
backend. Someone guru please enlighten me!

Frank Peng.
