I'm sure some grandmas could do this. It's just a matter of how much they need to do it, and to what degree of "inconvenience" they'll tolerate in order to obtain the functionality.

Thanks for this guide.
I am attempting to follow the guide. When I get to Step 2 of 2:Printer Driver, nothing shows up. Nothing in the dropdown for manufacturer or driver. I had previously installed a network printer through samba (brother mfc-8300),
Anyone have an idea how to get the default drivers to show?
Thank you worked like a dream on a fresh install of dapper.

In the dropdown menu go to Generic and there you'll find the postscript etc rev3 printer.Quote:

I tried installing and changing file permissions according to the CUPS-PDF website http://www.physik.uni-wuerzburg.de/~...entation.shtml but it didn't work...
Great to have a PDF-printer again in Dapper. :-)

Very cool! Thanks for this.
Grandma will be a happy camper once I do this for her!
Thanks for this guide!!! Great howto
Nice one, but it's a bit messy. Maybe you should use the code tags and give the precise commands (like apt-get install) to make it simpler. You could also use "sudo chmod +s /usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-pdf" instead of using nautilus as suggested in the other post.
