About cups-pdf, I will write later.
The needs to print on a virtual printer exists.
I thought that Boomaga substituted for "CUPS-PDF",
but Ludwig said that Boomaga have problems.

Fedora, Debian, and Ubuntu have CUPS-PDF in their official repositories.
I felt regrettable that openSUSE does not have it.
But, printing systems need root,
and they they work by the demands of the users.
It is dangerous.
We must be carefull.
Because there are security risks,
the opinion that we should put it only in "Printing" repository is true,
and the opinion that we use it at own risk is true too.
The openSUSE's "1 click install" is very handy,
but users have a risk that
they remain subscribed to an unnecessary repository (ex. "Printing")
and they make systems unstable.
If I say exaggeratedly,
I think that all packages have security risks.
This is a problem of the policy about the official repository.
What should the official repository provide?
What should not the official repository provide?
We should not put a dangerous package to the official repository.
Even the official repository is a self-responsibility.
By the way,
how do the others distributions (ex. Debian) think its risk?
1. I should continue that CUPS-PDF in our official repository.
2. I should give up it.
I choose 1, but I am still troubled.
If you have an opinion, please say it.
