When I try to print to PDF with evince or firefox it will not print pdf file to a directory I specify only to my home directory.
Does anybody know what to look for? It just happen after recent upgrade.

That is interesting. I have the exact same problem. Tried to save it to the
desktop and it saved to my home directory.On the second try I typed in the
directory that I wanted to save the file. Instead of "output.pdf", I put
"/home/ill/Desktop/output.pdf".
It's not a fix but it works.

I think you can use ~ for your home directory.
Thus, if your login name is ill,
~/Desktop/output.pdf
I do that with Firefox and Seamonkey, since I have many subdirectories for different purposes.
I never or hardly ever use ~/Desktop .
I think this works generally in Linux and BSD.
