The following howto works in almost all cases for me:
1. Install cups-pdf
2. edit /etc/cups/cups-pdf.conf and put something like this:
Out ${HOME}/PDF
instead of
Out ${DESKTOP}
in the file (otherwise i got errors like 'permission denied')
Make sure you did 'mkdir ~/PDF' first of course
3. When the printer-dialog (in for example notepad or other app) opens, choose "Cups-pdf printer" , _DON'T_ choose "print to file" !!!, just hit 'OK' button, and you will find your pdf-file in ~/PDf with some kind of funny name.........
You can find this howto at

Thanks a lot for this. I had installed cups-pdf, now I realise that it
was done under the 32-bit chroot install, only.
I can now print to cups-pdf, and a file is generated, but the page is
blank. I now realise I didn't say this in my original post, but printing
to the printer will produce a blank page. Hence the comment that the log
appears to generate a page.
Looks to me as though wine/MYOB is not translating the information into
postscript properly.
I tried installing PDF-Creator under wine (the Windows .exe) and it
comes up in the print dialogue, but just hangs, with no output.
Thanks for your help and interest
