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..

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...
