Read this: http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs//rvandenaker/testing/smeserver-cups/documentation/howtos/cups-pdf-printer.html

CUPS output location can be defined in the config dialogue for the pdf printer. Mine for example is pdf:/home/e-smith/files/ibays/intranet/files/pdfout. Can also be defined in /usr/lib/cups/backend/pdf.
