Hi Roberto,
I got my problem solved as follows; On browser http://localhost:631 -> Add Printer -> Add New Printer Filling in; Name: PDF_Printer Location: Local Description: blank -> Continue -> Select "Virtual Printer (PDF Printer)" -> Continue -> Browse ... -> File Upload; /usr/share/ppd/cups-pdf/PostscriptColor.ppd -> Open That is all. Now I can print .pdf files. The only drawback is I can't add a filename before clicking "Print". The file is saved on /home/user/PDF/__.pdf. I must change the filename afterwards. Anyway thanks again for your assistance. B.R.
