How are you using cups-pdf? Did you configure a PDF printer, or are
you trying to run cups-pdf on the command line?
Can you use it on the command line, but not in Wine? Or can you not
use it anywhere?
If you run 'lpstat -t' do you see a line like:
device for Cups-PDF: cups-pdf:/

It goes here *before* it's finished printing. This is for pre-
processing, and so that the document isn't lost if you reboot before
printing has finished. This is a temporary location.

It's not being honoured because for now it's running cups, which uses
cupsd.conf. Cups will then run cups-pdf, and cups-pdf will honour it's
cups-pdf.conf file.

On earlier Fedoras, cups.rpm created /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstopdf
On my Fedora 28 laptop it works *without* /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstopdf
I've had a look at the filters and ppds, and new cups seems to rely on
/usr/bin/gs (ghostscript), so make sure that is installed.

Can you check /etc/cups/ppd/Cups-PDF.ppd? If you can, please report
the FormatVersion, FileVersion and cupsFilter lines. For me:
*% cupsFilter: "application/vnd.cups-postscript 0 pstitleiconv"
