If we cannot remove this side effect, we can add a warning at the end of the cups-pdf installation
as I can see, if I change the behaviour to the old one doesn't solve the problem ...probably the su command doesn't support the shell paramater anymore
I confirm this behavior, and if this happens the printer gets paused witch makes impossible to a user with a valid shell to print too until the job from the user, that dont have a valid shell gets deleted. Maybe the new version have a fix, would be great to fix this.
Just tryed the new version and the problem persist
cups-pdf 1.7.0a works fine and fixes the problem
1.7.0a now in portage
