When Wheezy is installed you only get system-config-printer if one of
three task-* packages is installed. As said, localhost:631 could be used
for setting up a printer.
brian@desktop:~$ apt-cache --no-suggests rdepends system-config-printer
system-config-printer
Reverse Depends:
task-xfce-desktop
task-lxde-desktop
task-kde-desktop
Having cups installed implies you chose the print server task in d-i.
You mention "the pdf printer"; does this mean you installed cups-pdf
afterwards (it is not included in the print server task)? I can see no
benefit in using it over and above "Print to File" offered by desktop
applications.
Iceweasel (for example) produces a PDF to be sent to the printer.
cups-pdf converts this to PostScript and then back to a PDF. This might
cause you think why you used it in the first place.
