Now open your browser and type `localhost:631' in address bar. Here go for `Add Printer'. Then just fill in `Name' as cups-pdf and click on continue. Then select cups-pdf virtual printer from drop down list. click continue.. Then select `manufacturer' as generic... continue Then select 'generic' model... continue Then enter username and password.. most probably root user. This should work... If not... then print file as .ps and then use `ps2pdf14' for converting ps file to pdf. -- With Regards Abhishek Amberkar Born To Be Free...

Re: [ubuntu-in] Saving pages From Broswer for Printing them Later (Onkar Shinde)
Dear Onkar, I did try out after your mail and indeed its possible to print pdf from the desk top itself without resorting to conversion over the net. I apologise for any confusion I may have caused. However I did face some problem, and I thought you may be the best person to resolve it. I often book tickets at ksrtc.in. When I attempt to print tickets therein, a dialogue box opens displaying the various options available. If I choose pdf, the dialogue box closes and I do not seen any pdf file being generated. Or maybe I do not know the location. I did not find any option to choose the location or name of the file. I also searched my home folder as well, but could not find it there. However if I choose the print to file option, I get the option to choose pdf vs ps, the name of the file and its location. This option was not available earlier.(The file printed was a ps file and I pretty sure about that). But anyway, my question is, what am I doing wrong in the pdf printer or what do I need to do install / modify to get it working??
