[newbie] printing to pdf w/o using kprinter
Anyone know how to print to pdf (from all programs, well specifically mozilla) w/o using kprinter? kprinter (which is also where qtcups links to) is s slow to start up... I know i can print to ps, then ps2pdf. Hmmm i wonder if i could get a bash script to do it... thanks, eric -- Mandrake HowTo's More: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
