grandma:
??? Getting Cups Print to PDF to Work with Firefox ???

ok

1. I used ap browser to complete the following operations

a) download cups-pdf.tcz and cups.tcz (which it said was already installed by the first operation)

Perhaps a "Printer Wiki" could walk through various printer installation steps?

A script "To Install" would be wonderful

b) tce-load -i cups-pdf - that seemed to work


2. Then I had firefox open - and to test the print to pdf feature I clicked FILE PRINT

no printers show up???

Is there a firefox setup process for this?

Thanks.

......... ok ............. retried the print process

Here is the confusion:

It says "PRINT TO FILE" - which in Windows leads to a "strange proprietary output" nothing can work with except Windows....and no "pdf printer" shows as a "device" to use for printing. A Windows utility called "PRINTTOPDF" shows as a physical device - but not with CUPS.

Instead - CUPS printer interface shows an option with the PRINT TO FILE screen - a radio box you click to print to a PDF file, then specify the folder and file name etc.

Just did that. Lets see if we got output....

...bingo - thar she be......
