Tip: How to print directly to a PDF file: (Ubuntu example)
========================================
1. Install cups-pdf package
sudo apt-get install cups-pdf
2. Open Terminal
sudo gedit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
Search for line RunAsUser Yes
Change it in RunAsUser No
3. Now restart your computer or do a virtual reset of cups driver by
sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart
4. Then go to System--> Administration--> Printing
Add printer
Select "Local Printer" and use a "detected printer--> PDF printer".
Manufacturer--> Generic,
Model-->PostScript Color Printer,
Driver-->Should come preselected with a green dot (rev3a)
Apply
Your pdf printer should be up and running by now... test it by printing a page
from firefox or openoffice.
NOTE1: The printed files go to your home/PDF/ folder.
NOTE2: The resulting PDF file must be viewed with Acrobat Reader not Xpdf!

Instead of just gazing through a "Window", remove the "Gates" and come fly with
the penguins!
