Bug Description

Currently, print in pcb does not play nice with CUPS-PDF-Printer. Output is always called "_stdin_". It contains only the first page of multi page output. The print dialog of gschem does a better job as it names the output like the current page.

What do you type for the print command in the print dialog?

I use
      lp -d PDF
or
      lpr -P PDF

Just tried with semi current pcb-head: Both commands still set the name of the PDF to "(stdin)". The file produced by cups-pdf is
         $HOME/PDF/job_nn-untitled_document.pdf
with some incrementing number nn. The PDFs contain the full multi page outpu, though. Whatever it was, that made the output confined to the first page when I wrtote the bug report, is gone now. If I manually set the title wuith the option "-t" or "-T", everything is fine. Is there a way to access this as a variable which is substituted on print?

I'm pretty sure this is doesn't happen with current Git master or the weekly PPA release. The file printed by Cups is named after the layout. Exception is when the layout was never saved, so it doesn't have a name, yet.

KaiMartin, can you confirm the fix?
