Bug Description
Using Geda PCB version 20100929 I am trying to print to cups-pdf (Installed by apt-get install cups-pdf on Ubuntu 10.04 kernel 2.6.38-8-generic)
No error is displayed in the terminal running pcb and localhost:631 displays

"No %%BoundingBox: comment in header!"
I can export it to .ps and using evince it displays without a problem.
Doing a test, "cat printerTest.ps | lpr -P PDF" gives the same error.
Attached is the pcb file.
Thank you,
Mike

Hi Mike,
Header of your test pcb file says:

Are you seriously using pcb while logged in as root ?
Not good !!!
This way you are vulnerable to malware exploiting root privileges !
Kind regards,
Bert Timmerman.
