Print to PDF rocks !

Kudos to whomever came up with the "Print to PDF" option in the CUPS
printing system. 

Often I want to save information from a website - users manual pages,
order info, etc.

I used to print it to paper for future reference.  I hated that because
you end up with a pile of unsearchable paper.  

I also used to save website info as an html page, but this inevitably
causes problems as various links are attempted to be recreated when the
saved copy is opened. 

Now I print things like websites and such to pdfs and keep them on my
hard drive.  No more wasted trees and no more missing info due to lost
links, etc.  Nice, tidy, neat and efficient, just like Linux itself.
