A PDF printer for Jaunty

One thing i missed in Jaunty (Ubuntu 9.04) is the ability to print into a virtual printer which gives you a pdf of whatever is printed. This was "in" by default in previous versions of Ubuntu.

I found out that only one packages needs to be installed: cups-pdf

so get your terminal, and type
sudo apt-get install cups-pdf

that's it! you should have a working printer, that allows you to print everything into a pdf file. Take a look at Printing (System>Administration>Printing) to verify if the printer was installed, or simply print something! :)
