CUPS-PDF fails to print (SOLVED)

Hello.
I tried to print using CUPS-PDF, but it output blank pdf files.

I tested CUPS-PDF, because a person reported that he/she failed to print with his/her epson printer.

Unfortunately, my printer is rather old, and the manufacturer does not provide a 64bit printer driver. So I cannot test a "real" printer.

I would like to know if anyone succeeded in printing on fossapup64.

CUPS-PDF is ancient.

Is it?
Apart from its ancientness, puppy is equipped with CUPS-PDF.
I tested CUPS-PDF on bionicpup64, and it worked.

What I would like to know is whether the printing function of fossapup64 works or not.

It seems that this was all my fault.

Somehow the permission of /var/spool/cups has been changed during the process of localization.

I am sorry for such a mess.
