And they all work. I am having trouble finding any option, method,etc to "print-to-file". (I did install cups-pdf, and I imagine it just works. I see cups-pdf listed in the printer list.) But what I would really like is what Tim describes. Tim, just what do you mean by "call up the print requestor"? some path in http://localhost:631 ? or some way to query lpr?
Depends on what your application uses. The default mechanism for most "Print..." menus should bring up a requestor asking you which printer to use (for example, Firefox and Thunderbird uses this mechanism). The choice at the top of the options is usually "Print to file" and the icon is generally a green arrow pointing downwards to a drawer-like object. Google-ish apps (like Chrome) use their own requestor, but if you click on the "Change" button in the "Destination" window on the left, you should find "Save to PDF" as an option under "Local Destinations". To query lpr, just use "lpstat -t".
And how do you generate your options? And just what is SVG?
I believe SVG is a GUI interface to subversion. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - Fear is finding a ".vbs" script in your Inbox - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
