Hmmm... guess I'm super-dense, but I can't see how to do this, even
after the benefit of your mistake.
I start the app (System Settings-> Printing), select "New", and get
to the point where I'm asked to select printer mfr. and model. I
expected to find a "Print to PDF" item in the list, but there is
no such item! Where did I fall off the boat?
Another thing that confuses me: When I select Preferences->Printing
Manager, the list presented includes "Print to File (PDF)".
I think the missing clue here is probably that cups must have a valid,
working, printer setup first, before the file can be re-directed to a
pdf. OTOH, I could be wrong. Either way, the system must know that
the src file has to be massaged and format converted by ghostscript
or one of its helpers.
I'm sure this all makes perfect sense somehow, but I am
struggling
to see how this fits together... can someone enlighten me?
Thnx,
Jay
