cups-pdf in Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty)

Posted by: ChinnoDog in Ubuntu, tags:

I am totally slacking on blog postings.  I recently started using Ubuntu on my laptop as my main operating system and have a ton of things to figure out yet.  Here is an important one.  I figured out printing to PDFs though.  To print to PDFs:

apt-get install cups-pdf
mkdir ~/PDF
sudo chmod u+x,a+x,+s /usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-pdf

You might have to

sudo /etc/init.d/cups restart

after that.

    If the age of the comments on the other site is any indication (since they don’t date things… I wonder why), I posted this first.
