I used it once and the moment it tried asking about the devices (printer, jetdirect etc. ) I thought I was doing something stupid. I tried and it worked.
Hmmm... guess I'm super-dense, but I can't see how to do this, even after the benefit of your mistake.
I start the app (System Settings-> Printing), select "New", and get to the point where I'm asked to select printer mfr. and model. I expected to find a "Print to PDF" item in the list, but there is no such item! Where did I fall off the boat?
Another thing that confuses me: When I select Preferences->Printing Manager, the list presented includes "Print to File (PDF)".
I'm sure this all makes perfect sense somehow, but I am struggling to see how this fits together... can someone enlighten me?
Thnx, Jay

After a good night sleep, I think I can help now :)
start your cups and cups-config-daemon services (and also enable then using ntsysv so that they come up after next reboot also). run lynx http://localhost:631
i.e. connect localhost on port 631 where cups provides web based administration. Look for manage printers and since there are no existing printers, you will have to add one. Adda printer calls cups-pdf and then when you move ahead by clicking on continue, you will be presented by list of printers, this is where you will find Virtual PDF printer thingy.
HTH.
